1. The State Hospital for Nervous and Mental Disorders (Panstwowy 25X1
Szpital-dla Nerwowo i Psychicznie Chorych) in Pruszkow (N 52-1.0,
E 20-50) was one of the oldest and largest mental hospitals in
Poland. It'was built in 1880 and its facilities were not ade-
quately adapted to the demands of modern psychiatry. Only four
new buildings had been added since its founding. They were added
sometime in the 1930's. The hospital was situated in the north-
eastern part of Pruszkow (population about 15,000) in the suburb
of Tworki from which it acquired the name under which it was most
commonly known - the Tworki Hospital. or pinpoint location see
Enclosure 1.
2. The hospital, with its surroundin gardens and buildings, occupied
an area of approximately 40 ha. or a detailed description, see
sketch, Enclosure 2_] In addition to the grounds, the 25X1
hospital had a farm and large fish ponds attached to it. In 1945
the former Pecice estate was added to the farm. Management of the
farm and the fisheries was rather poor. Agricultural products from
the farm were used by the hospital; the fish were sold to the fish-
ing enterprise in Warsaw. About 70 patients were usually employed
as farm laborers, in addition to the permanent employees.
In addition to the State Hospital for Nervous and Mental Disorders,
the hospital compound housed the Psychiatric Clinic of the Warsaw
Medical Academy and the Psychoneurological Institute

The State Hospital for Nervous and Mental Disorders was subordinate
to the Department of Health of the National Council of the Warsaw
Voivodship (Wydzial Zdrowla Rady Narodowej Wojewodztwa Warazawskiego).
The hospital employed' approximately 400 professional and administrative
personnel. Included were 28 medical doctors, of which 18 were
psychiatrists, and auxiliary personnel such as ward attendants,
psychiatric social assistants, nurses, administrative and technical
personnel, and laborers. There were always between 1,100 and 1,200
patients in the hospital.
The administrative set-u of the hospital was as follows: for
chart see Enclosure 3_1
a. The director of the hospital was responsible for administrative
and medical matters. He had one secretary. Directly subordinate
to him were three vice-directors, the doctor on duty, the chief
male nurse, the hospital office, the heads of various hospital
sections, and the visiting specialists. The dental office,
the X-ray laboratory, the pharmacy, the dispensary, and other
such general facilities were also under his direct administration.
b. A consultation board called the Medical Conference (Konferencja
Lekarska) assisted the director in his work. This board met
twice .a week under the chairmanship of the director and dealt
with important medical matters regarding diagnosis and treat-
ment of patients. It. also issued medical certificates for
courts of law and sometimes discussed administrative and per-
sonnel matters. All medical doctors always attended. When
matters pertaining to the auxiliary personnel listed above,
were to be discussed, the chief nurse, the social psychiatric
assistants, and the political vice-director also attended.
Other activities carried on at board meetings were: the
demonstration of difficult cases; the distribution of official
correspondence and incoming mail of patients to the section heads.
Official correspondence pertaining to a particular patient was
answered by the doctor in charge of the patient and signed by
the director. The director also signed all certificates for
courts of law.
c. The political vice-director was responsible for seeing that
the Party line was followed, and for Party activities. He
organized all political and social meetings, gave opinions on
personnel matters such as promotions and punishments, resolved.
disagreements (except those pertaining to medical treatment)
among staff employees, and dealt with the complaints of
patients.
d. The administrative vice-director was in charge of administrative
matters and the management of the hospital. Directly subordinate
to him were the:
(1)
Technical Section which was responsible for the maintenance
and repair of buildings, for water and electricity supply,
and for equipment. This section had an office and various
workshops under its administration which included a lock-
smith shop, a glaziery, and a woodworking shop. It was
also responsible for all stores of technical supplies.
Artisans were in charge of the workshops b ut the majority
of the workers were patients.

Those patients who had no beds slept on matresses on the floor,
often with two patients under one blanket. There was an inade-
quate number of auxiliary personnel in the section: two social
psychiatric assistants, three or four nurses, and about 30
ward attendants (one for every six or seven beds).
b. Pavilion II housed the psychiatric section for women. The
surgery, X--?ray laboratory, and dental office were also located
in this building. Like the men's section the psychiatric
section for women was divided into two subsections.
(1) One, under Dr. M. JAKUBIUK and two assistant doctors,consisted
of:
(a) An observation ward for restless patients which con-
tained about 30 beds and usually had about 35 patients.
(b) A sick ward with about 55 beds (usually about 60
patients).
(2) The second subsection, under Dr. B. ALAPIN and two assistant
doctors, consisted of:
(a), An observation ward for quiet patients with about
45 beds (usually about 55 patients).
(b)
One ward for patients receiving insulin shock with
about 55 beds. There was an adequate number of beds
in this ward for the number of patients.
(c)
One ward for patients who were well enough to
on the farm, in the workshops etc. This ward
about 110 beds and usually 150 patients.
work
had
The number of auxiliary personnel in the psychiatric
section for women was about the same as in the psychi-
atric section for men.
c. Pavilion V housed the neurotic section. This section was
under Dr. J. KWIATKOWSKA and one assistant doctor. It had
two wards. One ward was for men, had 20 beds, and was on
the first floor. The ward for women was on the second floor.
and had 30 beds. There were fewer attendants in these two
wards because the patients were self-admitted and such patients
did not require constant observation. They were allowed to go
into the hospital gardens unattended.
d. Pavilion VII housed the section for working patients. This
section consistedofa men's ward under Dr. LUNIEWSKA with about
100 beds and a women's ward under Dr. RYNIEWICZ with about 60
beds. The patients in this section did not receive the usual
treatments. Most of them were employed in the garden, on the
farm, in the workshops, etc. and were allowed to go to work
either individually or in groups, but unattended. In addition
to those patients housed in Pavilion VII, there were 40 male
patients who were permanently employed by the hospital and
who lived on the Pecice estate. These were two social psychi-
atric assistants at Pecice and about 10 ward attendants. The
doctor visited these patients once a week.
e. Pavilion VIII housed the psychiatric section for children.
The section, under Dr. H. AMBRAMOWICE, had about 30 beds and
had been transferred from the Central Psychiatric Consultation
Station in Warsaw in April 1954.

f. Pavilion IX housed the neurological section under Dr. STEPIEN
and five assistants. This section had one ward for men and
one for women, each of which contained about 30 beds. There
was a larger number of attendants in this section than in other
sections because most of the patients were kept in bed and
required constant attention. Rooms for physical therapy and
for diathermy were located in the basement of Pavilion IX.
An apparatus for testing metabolism was also located there.

7. In addition to the staff doctors employed in the various sections
of the State Hos

, there were three visiting specialists:
a. A surgeon who performed minor operations every day from 0800
to 1000 hours in the surgery of Pavilion II. When a serious
operation was necessary, the patient was sent to the county
hospital in Pruszkow. (A ward attendant accompanied the
patient when it was necessary..)
b. A doctor of internal medicine who came to the hospital twice
a week.
c. An ear, nose, and throat specialist who also came to the
hospital twice a week.
25X1
When a gynecologist was needed, one was called from the dis-
pensary-in Pruszkow.
8. The following facilities were also available at the State Hospital:
a. A dental office.
b. An X-ray laboratory (for X-ray-treatment, not for photographs).
c. Laboratories under a graduate chemist and three laboratory
technicians. The laboratoriesl'ccupied three rooms and con-
tained equipment necessary for testing blood, urine, spinal
fluid, excrement, and saliva.
d. A pharmacy under a pharmacologist, KULESZYNA, and two assistants.
Medicaments were issued on prescriptions of the doctors in
charge of sections; no drugs or medicaments were issued for
staff employees.
e. An autopsy room with two tables and a mortuary which would
accommodate six bodies. An average of 10 to 15 patients died
monthly and an autopsy was performed on each one.
9. A dispensary fOr outpatients was attached to the State Hospital
and was under Dr. KWIATKOWSKA, a psychiatrist, and Dr. J. KAHL-
KUNSTEDTER, a neurologist. The dispensary was open three days a
week from 1400 to 1800 hours.
10. There were two libraries at the State Hospital. The one for doctors
was well-supplied with mostly pre-World War II medical books. The
other library was for patients.
11. Most rooms in the hospital sections were large and could accommo-
date from 20 to 25 beds. (There were however, from two to five
rooms with three to five beds.) For this reason it was difficult
to isolate noisy and restless patients (most of whom were women)
from severly ill persons. The furniture was simple. Beds, mattresses,
and some blankets were of post-war UNRRA supplies. The remainder
were of Polish production. There were few chairs; benches were used
fdr the most part and only the smaller rooms had bed tables.

12. There were only one or two changes of bed and personal linen.
Each section had its own linen and was responsible, for sending
it to the laundry, inspecting it on return, and sending it to
the repair shop when necessary. This caused temporary shortages.
Unusable items could only be replaced twice a year. There were
no surplus mattresses. When it was necessary to use one on the
floor, a section of a mattress was taken from a bed and utilized
for this'purpose.
13. The buildings were old but solid with floors of inlaid wood.
There was not enough money for proper maintenance; for example
the buildings were painted inside every three years only. It was
difficult to maintain proper hygienic standards because-.. there
was only one electric vacuum cleaner for the entire hospital,
there were water shortages, breakdowns in the water system, and
no central heating (old tile stoves were used). In addition
there were not enough dustbins; the dustbins were not emptied
often enough; there we.. e many rnice.Hot water was only available in
the bathrooms and not every day. An example of poor maintenance
was the breakdown of the internal telephone system in 1953 and
the installation of new equipment one year later in some pavilions
only.
14. The hospital kitchen was old and when built was designed to serve
about 800 patients. By 1954 the shortage of space was acute. In
that year the kitchen served, with the addition of some new kettles,dail
about 1,600 lunches. The stealing of food by`kitchen personnel
and unlawful use of it by ward attendants was common. Those. staff
employees of the hospital who ate in the hospital canteen (serviced
by this kitchen) had to pay 4.50 zlotys for a meal but employees
of the Psychiatric Clinic had to pay 6.00 zlotys.
15.
the preliminary budget submitted
by the hospital was out by as much as 30% by the Ministry of
Health each year. the budget for.psychiatric
hospitals was based on the average of 15 zlotys daily for one
patient. This amount was to cover all hospital expenses. This
included food (about 7 zlotys daily per person), drugs, clothing,
hospital maintenance and salaries of hospital personnel.
about 280 to 300 zlotys were allotted for clothing
and linen and this amount was inadequate. It was not possible
to transfer money from one budget fund to another. Most patients
were treated free of charge. However, farmers who had yearly
incomes of over 4,000 zlotys had to pay a certain percentage and
rich farmers (so-called kulaks) had to pay the full amount, that
is 15 zlotys daily.
16. Since 1952 each mental hospital in Poland had been assigned a
epecific.district from which to draw its patients. The State
Hospital for Nervous and Mental Disorders in.Pruszkow.served an
area west of the Vistula River, including that part of Warsaw and
part of the Warsaw and Kielce Voivodships. Most patients were
laborers from urban areas. There has been a remarkable increase
in patients during the last few years. In ,1947 on an average of
four to six patients.were admitted daily. In 1954 about 20 patients
were admitted each day and five to eight refused admission or told
to return at a later date. This increase in patients has been
caused by the difficult conditions under which the Poles live.
in comparison with prewar years there were fewer cases of
paresis than formerly but a considerable increase in psycho-
alc.oholic patients. About two-thirds of the patients stayed in
the, hospital for more than a year, some stayed for a shorter length
of time, and others stayed for such long periods they could be

regarded as residents Those who, after neurological or psychi
atric treatment, showed no improvement but could not be sent'home
because of housing or financial problems were in this category.
This situation reduced the number of beds for patients who stayed
from about six weeks to one-year to 350. To'relieve this con-
gestion,'groups of 100 to 150 patients with chronic diseases were
sent twice yearly, upon the approval of the Ministry of Health,
to provincial hospitals with more space.
17. All doctors employed at the hospital worked seven hours daily;
the auxiliary personnel worked eight. The ward attendants were
on 24-hour shifts. Certain doctors worked longer hours when
necessary and, if overtime was approved, they were paid for it.
The-doctors were permitted to adjust their working hours and
usually worked from 0800 to 1500 hours. Examinations and treat-
ment generally took place before noon. The auxiliary personnel
worked from 0700 to 1200 and from 1300 to 1600 hours. After 1600
hours only specially ordered treatment was given and all urgent
cases were. handled by the doctor on duty.
18. Among the 18 doctors employed in the psychiatric sections, three
were over 60 years of age and were not very efficient doctors.
Three were between 38 and 55 years of age with at least seven
years of experience. Some of the'younger doctors were not par-
ticularly gifted and gained less experience than could be expected
because of the lack of leadership. Each senior doctor was in
charge of about 100 patients; junior doctors were in charge of
from 50 to 60. Because of this not much time was spent in ex.
amining individual patients. Sometimes examinations were super-
ficial and resulted in inaccurate diagnoses. Only two of these
doctors were really interested in scientific research beyond
attending meetings-of the Psychiatric Society or annual confer-
ences of psychiatrists.
19. Doctors were also required to attend court proceedings in Warsaw
as psychiatric experts. Two doctors had to attend.at least four
times a week. The doctors took turns in performing this duty.
It was regarded as an annoyance because it kept them from their
work.
20. The living conditions of doctors and auxiliary personnel were
difficult. This was particularly true for auxiliary personnel..
Wages were low and inadequate for the necessities of life. Husbands,
wives,,and adult children all worked to provide for their families.
Some of the auxiliary and administrative personnel had-jobs out-
side the hospital in-addition to hospital employment. One male
nurse, for example, worked as a mechanic in a nearby garage. Some
of the attendants owned small farms in the neighborhood and looked
upon hospital employment as a supplement to their income. Crafts-
men; such as tailors and shoemakers, employed at the hospital work-
shops earned additional money by filling orders after working
hours. They often used hospital materials and equipment and even
the assistance of patients. Women attendants earned extra money
by knitting.
21. Housing was the greatest problem of every family. There were only
a few apartment buildings attached to the hospital. As a rule, a
family was assigned one room. At best, a family was assigned one
one room and kitchen. Apartments and rooms were assigned by a
housing c.ommission composed of representatives of the administrative
branch of the hospital, the trade union, and the PZPR. On an average
three to four persons lived in one room. Married couples were often

more crowded because, in addition to children, other relatives
stayed-with'them. Three or four'single persons attendants,
nurses,-etc. - were usually-assigned. to one room. The majority
6f employees ate in the hospital canteen some took'the food for
patients without making payment. Some ward attendants earned extra
money by performing additional duties for patients after working
hours and were paid for it by the families of the patients. The
amount earned was usually about four zlotys per hour.
22. The supply of drugs and medicaments most necessary was sufficient
but there were occasional shortages. For.example, in April 1954,
the hospital pharmacy informed the sections that there was no
more Vitamin B and C available. At the same time a restriction on
glucose was ordered because the hospital had only enough for three
months and did not expect a new supply. There was no crystallic
glucose in the pharmacy from which liquid glucose could be prepared.
Other drugs were administered in restricted amounts. Penicillin
was issued in amounts not exceeding 1,000,000 units for one patient
and the prescription submitted with a written diagnosis had to be
signed by the. director of the hospital. There was no streptomycin
in the pharmacy and it could only be obtained from the voivodship
department of health service. The insulin used was of Polish and
Russian origin and about 10% was not useable. The Russian insulin
was usually too old. Sometimes the expiration date on the bottle
had been changed to a later date. However, bad insulin could be
exchanged for good in the pharmacy. There was no phenobarbital,
no medicaments for intravenous injections, and often no sulfa-
nilamide.
23. The following social and political organizations existed at the
hospital:
a.. Basic Party Organization of the PZPR (Podstawowa Organizacja
Partyjna - POP). The POP was most active and its influence
was felt in ever phase of hospital life.
the 25X1
rec or an ree me ea oc ors were members an
about six per cent of all employees were. One of the 25X1
nurses was the first secretary of the Party and an electrician
was second secretary. The POP often held secret meetings and
organized political training. It also gave weekly lectures
for non-Party members who were selected to attend. 25X1
complaints from Party members that meetings and training
took oo much of their free time. Non-Party persons were
induced to become members and certain ones agreed because they
were afraid of losing their jobs.

b. The Union of Polish Youth (ZMP). Probably about 20% of the
young hospital employees u- to 21; ve rs of age) were members
of the ZMP. all members were not 25X1

c. The'Trade-Union for Health Service Employees (Zwiazek Zawodowy
Pracownikow-Sluzby Zdrowla). Thetrade union member
ship fee
(about one-per cent of an employee's
sal ) was regarded by
everyone as a compulsory tribute because the trade uniof'did
not"concern itself greatly with-the-well-being of the employees.
Instead it exerted additional control.
d. The Women's League (Liga Kobiet). All women employees were
forced to Join this league. They were not active beyond certain
interests in the nursery and kindergarten.
e. The Polish-Soviet Friendship Society. This was a "paper"
organization. Everyone had to pay a yearly membership fee
of about three zlotys. Activities of the organization were
limited to'a meeting on the anniversary of the Russian
October Revolution.
