| Abstract | The authors assess the contributions of Portugal to the development of health systems in the Portuguese African empire until the early 20th century. The marine medicine, the support of health facilities in mainland Africa and the interventions of the Misericordias are touched upon. Only after the French Revolution, the independence of Brazil and the liberal war in Portugal, under the pressure of the English Ultimatum and following the Berlin Treaty, the Portuguese Government undertook effective occupation of its African territories, developing health infrastructures tailored for the needs of the overseas’ colonies. The solutions found over the centuries reflect the scientific knowledge of the moment, the socially appreciated values in the European societies and the interest in health as a matter of public policy. |
