Scholars often portray colonial medicine either as exemplifying the triumph of progress or as a means of expanding imperial authority. Adding to these views a consideration of the range of activities present on the ground reveals activities consistent with both perspectives, but points also to limitations inherent in perceiving these efforts in these two ways. A more focused view also acknowledges the inherently abusive side of the colonial project, underscoring the potential to become categorically worse should the historical context shift.

Abstract:

Abstract One of the enduring public health challenges confronting British colonial officials in colonial Ghana was the management of sanitation and public hygiene. Colonial officials charged that many Gold Coast communities presented sanitary challenges that posed a risk to public health. Thus, the need to ensure the sanitation of Gold Coast communities was one of the earliest preoccupations of the British colonial administration. Yet, many scholarly works on sanitation and public hygiene in colonial Ghana, in particular, and colonial Africa have focused mainly on urban areas. This article, th

Abstract:

Medicine and public health cannot be understood without considering the role of nurses, both as professionals and as working women. In India, unlike other countries, nurses have suffered an exceptional degree of neglect at the hands of the state (as well as medical professionals). This situation has been detrimental to the quality of both rural and urban health care. The present article examines the reasons why nurses have so consistently been marginalised and excluded from the public health system and policymaking. It questions the general assumption that nursing’s poor status is mainly due t

From the sources of the period it is somewhat clear that the causes of epidemics and mortality had a close connection with the environment of the region.

India bears the highest burden of global dog-mediated human rabies deaths. Despite this, rabies is not notifiable in India and continues to be underprioritised in public health discussions. This review examines the historical treatment of rabies in British India, a disease which has received relatively less attention in the literature on Indian medical history. Human and animal rabies was widespread in British India, and treatment of bite victims imposed a major financial burden on the colonial Government of India.

The establishment and expansion of public health centers provided an opportunity for public health nursing to grow, and public health nurses became involved in family planning and preventive and curative tuberculosis programs.

Theodor Posewitz, a Hungarian medical doctor and geologist (1850–1917) spent five years in the Dutch East Indies between 1880 and 1885, serving the colonial Dutch army. During his service assignments he spent all his free time with geological exploration, ultimately yielding the first geological map and monograph of Borneo. Being a citizen of Hungary, a country without any colonial aspirations, he was able to observe, investigate both nature and people of the region without relying to conventional prejudices of colonial officers. His description of Banjarmasin – published originally in Hungari

Abstract:

The literature on the Third Plague Pandemic in West Africa focuses on urbanisation and disease processes in colonial Senegal, Ghana, and Nigeria. Consequently, there is a dearth of historical study of the relational complexities between public health interventions and maritime trade during the outbreak in the region. It is with this in mind that this article examines the historical effects of plague control on internal commerce and international maritime trade in Lagos from 1924 to 1931. The study is based on the historical analysis of colonial administrative, sanitary and medical records as w

Abstract:

The introduction of cholera to Ceylon in the 19th century posed a substantial public health crisis, especially as the island served as a strategic colonial outpost. The spread of cholera across Asia, often intensified by trade and travel routes, made Ceylon highly susceptible. Colonial authorities in Ceylon responded to cholera with various medical interventions, often blending European medical methods with limited engagement with indigenous practices. This study explores the historical medical practices, quarantine measures, and public health policies implemented to contain cholera in Ceylon,

Abstract:

Much historical information is yet to be uncovered, such as how knowledge was formed in certain parts of the world, including in Japan and Korea. Professor Toshihiko Matsuda, International Research Center for Japanese Studies, Japan, is investigating, in a global context, the body of knowledge formed in Japan, and it's outer influence, including on Taiwan, Korea and Manchuria in the modern era and on public health study and education. This needs to be clarified as, in Japan, there is a tendency to believe that Korea's knowledge and high-level education system came about from its colonial era,
