Robert Neubauer was a Slovene doctor who specialised in phthisiology, the study and treatment of tuberculosis and lung disease. Born in Vienna in 1895 to a German father and a Slovene mother, he studied medicine at the University of Vienna and graduated in 1922. In 1923 he took over the Hospital for Pulmonary and Allergic Diseases at Golnik and made it one of the leading hospitals of its kind in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. After the German invasion of Yugoslavia he was arrested and moved to Ljubljana; in 1942 he joined the Slovene Liberation Front and in 1944 the partisans. After the war he worked for the Yugoslav Red Cross and the World Health Organization, and a visit to Sri Lanka led to his book Ceylon, published in 1957, which won the Levstik Award in 1958. He became a full member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1961 and died in Ljubljana in 1969.
