A presença médica portuguesa no império (séculos XVI‑XVIII): acção dos agentes políticos (2021)

unapi

This contribution focuses on the medical professionals who officially served the Portuguese Crown in its overseas empire. It deals in particular with the physicians, surgeons and apothecaries who sailed from Portugal to attend the sick, train healthcare workers or gather local knowledge in the Portuguese colonies. Its main objective is to reveal how the Crown organised and administered the field of medicine in the empire between the early 16th and the late 18th century.
