Abstract

The article analyzes the arrival of attending physicians in the province of Coquimbo between 1840 and 1870. Through communication with the physicians assigned to the San Juan de Dios Hospital of La Serena, the modernization of the medical practice in a local space is confirmed, characterized by the gradual installation of sanitary taxation. The study's methodology was based on direct research in documents from the National Historical Archive of Chile. Thus, it was found that in the context of a mining export boom, it was necessary to modernize an infrastructure that would accompany the welfare policies before consolidating the republic. Based on the evidence, it is postulated that the political authorities and the physicians in charge of the hospital tended to control and eradicate the informal practice of medicine and pharmacology. Finally, we note the intention of the physicians to generate an orderly public healthcare system.

拉塞雷纳圣胡安-德迪奥斯医院的首批主治医生和 19 世纪中叶的卫生税收组织。

文章分析了 1840 年至 1870 年间主治医生来到科金博省的情况。通过与拉塞雷纳的圣胡安-德迪奥斯医院（San Juan de Dios Hospital of La Serena）派驻医生的交流，证实了当地医疗实践的现代化，其特点是逐步建立卫生税收制度。研究方法是基于对智利国家历史档案馆文件的直接研究。因此，研究发现，在矿业出口蓬勃发展的背景下，有必要在巩固共和国之前实现与福利政策相配套的基础设施的现代化。根据证据推测，政治当局和负责医院的医生倾向于控制和消除非正规的医学和药理学实践。最后，我们注意到医生们打算建立一个有序的公共医疗系统。

期刊介绍： Medwave is a peer-reviewed, biomedical and public health journal. Since its foundation in 2001 (Volume 1) it has always been an online only, open access publication that does not charge subscription or reader fees. Since January 2011 (Volume 11, Number 1), all articles are peer-reviewed. Without losing sight of the importance of evidence-based approach and methodological soundness, the journal accepts for publication articles that focus on providing updates for clinical practice, review and analysis articles on topics such as ethics, public health and health policy; clinical, social and economic health determinants; clinical and health research findings from all of the major disciplines of medicine, medical science and public health. The journal does not publish basic science manuscripts or experiments conducted on animals. Until March 2013, Medwave was publishing 11-12 numbers a year. Each issue would be posted on the homepage on day 1 of each month, except for Chile’s summer holiday when the issue would cover two months. Starting from April 2013, Medwave adopted the continuous mode of publication, which means that the copyedited accepted articles are posted on the journal’s homepage as they are ready. They are then collated in the respective issue and included in the Past Issues section.
