A pioneering history of medical care in Stalins Gulagshowing how doctors and nurses cared for inmates in appalling conditions
 
A byword for injustice, suffering, and mass mortality, the Gulag exploited prisoners, compelling them to work harder for better rations in shocking conditions. From 1930 to 1953, eighteen million people passed through this penal-industrial empire. Many inmates, not reaching their quotas, succumbed to exhaustion, emaciation, and illness.
 
It seems paradoxical that any medical care was available in the camps. But it was in fact ubiquitous. By 1939 the Gulag Sanitary Department employed 10,000 doctors, nurses and paramedicsabout 40 percent of whom were prisoners.
 
Dan Healey explores the lives of the medical staff who treated inmates in the Gulag. Doctors and nurses faced extremes of repression, supply shortages, and isolation. Yet they still created hospitals, re-fed prisoners, treated diseases, and saved a proportion of their patients. They taught apprentices and conducted research too. This groundbreaking account offers an unprecedented view of Stalins forced-labour camps as experienced by its medical staff.
