An outbreak of cholera in Egypt in 1883presentedthe newly installed Anglo-Egyptian government with its first major crisis. The government’s response marked a break from established public health policies and procedures away from those that developed by the Ottoman Egypt government with French assistance in the early and mid-nineteenth century, and implemented anti-contagionist policies developed in British India two decades earlier that considered cost and economic impact key factors. Health, hygiene, and sanitation, as defined by and provided on terms dictated by British officials, were used as litmus tests to justify indefinite extension of the British occupation.
