A jubilee badge issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Lviv Medical Society, celebrated in 1927.
The Society originated within the Galician Medical Society. In 1877, the Lviv Section was established, which subsequently developed into the independent Lviv Medical Society. The organization became one of the most important medical associations in Lviv, conducting scientific, professional, humanitarian, and mutual-aid activities.
