The image of this brand, a baby lying on the scales, should point to one of the most important tasks of health care, namely the provision for expectant and nursing mothers and baby care. Already the mother counseling centers of the fifties had the task to protect the mothers and their small offspring from damage to health. Particular attention was paid to infant mortality and rickets. In addition to combating communicable diseases, particularly tuberculosis, and school health care, maternal and infant care was a key concern in the health care system of the 1950s. Counseling centers for the fight against venereal diseases, modern therapy access by sulfonamides and penicillin over previous methods had caused a fundamental change in the appearance of medicine.
