Public health Medicine and politics Public policy Epidemics Malaria Cholera Sanitation France, colonies 20th century, early Middle and Near East

In the Levant, mandates were not established in an empty space but inherited an already mature and complex health situation that they had to take into account. The health policy of the French mandate in Lebanon and Syria clearly stood at the crossroads of a medicine based on beneficence, which relied on a dense network of private and community healthcare institutions, and of a security-oriented medicine based on building defenses against epidemics and continuing a history of international public health in the region. Fighting against outbreaks of malaria or cholera, and securing a sanitary land route for the pilgrimage to Mecca were the major areas of this health policy, which was marked by a shortage of financial, rather than human, resources, and was unable to develop a large scale social and sanitary project.
