[The future of pathology in Czechoslovakia].

Further development of Czechoslovak pathology depends on the worldwide speed and direction of progress in pathology, on economical and political progress, and on transformation of the Czechoslovak health care system. Changing orientation of pathology in advanced countries predicts an increased importance of working qualities in the whole scope of pathologist. Intrinsic factors controlling progress in pathology are varied and can be partly influenced. Participation of pathology in the new system is to be actively prepared by mutual information and cooperation.
