The brand image shows a mother with her healthy children. This presentation aims to demonstrate the success in the fight against tuberculosis. It was only through the intervention of tuberculosis care that the post-war youth was able to grow up in this respect. Due to the lack of appropriate facilities in the past, adolescents and children have already been affected by this insidious disease. Tuberculosis care providers in 1954 cared for pulmonary patients and saved the rest of the population against tuberculosis. Above all, X-ray equipment, some of which were mobile, was available to the population at that time. In addition, the newly developed vaccinations were of great importance in the area of responsibility of these institutions. Since tuberculosis had threatened people for centuries and was a widespread disease in post-war Austria, increased efforts to combat this disease were a necessity in the health sector.
