The scope of this paper is to analyze the provision of biomedical care in Angola during the activities of the Companhia de Diamantes de Angola. A comparative analysis of public health policies and practices of various colonial actors, such as the health services of the Company, its state counterpart and other colonial companies, will reveal differences in investment in health, namely in health facilities, personnel and treatment. This survey as well as the living conditions highlight the idiosyncratic and central nature of the health services of the Company in terms of morbidity and mortality in Angola, and the importance of these representations for a caregiving empire.
