Clinical care of national navy hospitals was normed from reception of patients till hospital discharge. After admission to the hospital, patient got competent medical care and corresponding attendance. But the situation changed in XVIII century, period of wars. In conditions of war time hospitals were overcrowded with patients and wounded. The number of patients went beyond the bedspace. Deficit of vacant beds was supplied with the help of additional beds; deficit of medical staff was supplied with the help of participation of another medial staff. Huge number of patients with different diseases, including contagious diseases, conduced communication of contagious diseases inside the hospital. Diagnostics and methods of treatment of these diseases were not enough researched. Taking into account results of statistical analysis of data about the number of fatality cases (peace time — 4—10%, war time — 20%), we can make a conclusion that clinical care of national navy hospitals was satisfying.
