Avram(ino) de Castro, born in 1829 in Istanbul, has been sent to Paris for a year by the Ottoman government after his graduation from the Imperial Military Medical School (Mekteb-i Tibbiye-i ahane) in 1859. He went to Italy by his own financial means and continued there his education for three more years. When he returned to Istanbul, he worked at the Maltepe Hospital for a while and then was appointed to the Süleymaniye Lunatic Asylum as a civilian doctor. He started to work as the assistant of Dr. Luigi Mongeri (1815-1882), the chief physician of the asylum, and carried on to work in the same position after Süleymaniye Lunatic Asylum has moved to Topta , Scutari. Following the death of Dr. L. Mongeri sen. in 1882, Dr. A. de Castro was appointed chief physician to the asylum. Avram de Castro worked as a physician in the Ottoman Empire for about 45 years. He served for 36 years at Topta Lunatic Asylum where he acted as director between the years 1882-1908. He retired on 14th November 1908, following the proclamation of the Second Constitutio. During Dr. de Castro's administration, the asylum experienced a serious lack of capacity and its patients suffered greately from the cholera epidemic of 1893. Dr. de Castro authored a number of medico-legal reports and a few statistics of the Topta Asylum, all published in the Gazette Medicale d'Orient (Istanbul), the journal of the Medical Society of Constantinople, of which he was a member.
