The Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (Ramsi)
Helpem Fren, Michael Wesley's diplomatic history of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI), the Australian-led multilateral intervention in Solomon Islands from 2003-2017, is a near definitive study of the intervention from an Australian perspective. As such, it shares some of the failures of RAMSI itself, such as overconfidence in its success. The reviewer, based on his experience of living in the Solomons during many years o…

Transcending the colonial gaze
For three months in 1906, John Watt Beattie, the noted Australian photographer – at the invitation of the Anglican Bishop of Melanesia, Cecil Wilson – travelling on the church vessel the Southern Cross , photographed people and sites associated with the Melanesian Mission on Norfolk Island and present-day Vanuatu and Solomon Islands. Beattie reproduced many of the 1500-plus photographs from that trip, which he sold in various formats from his pho…
The World Health Organization
According to its Constitution, the mission of the World Health Organization (WHO) was nothing less than the 'attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health' without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic status, or social condition. But how consistently and how well has the WHO pursued this mission since 1946? This comprehensive and engaging new history explores these questions by looking at its origins and i…

Elizabeth Fee (1946–2018)
Elizabeth Fee was a remarkable and influential public health historian, whose personal and professional trajectories led her to speak truth to and about power in public health, past and present. Born in Northern Ireland in 1946 to Irish–Methodist missionary parents, Liz’s childhood brought her into contact with peoples and struggles across the globe. At just five weeks of age, she was whisked away by her parents to civil war–era China, where she …

At the Roots of The World Health Organization’s Challenges
The World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) leadership challenges can be traced to its first decades of existence. Central to its governance and practice is regionalization: the division of its member countries into regions, each representing 1 geographical or cultural area. The particular composition of each region has varied over time—reflecting political divisions and especially decolonization. Currently, the 194 member countries belong to 6 regio…

The World Health Organization and the Transition From “International” to “Global” Public Health
The term “global health” is rapidly replacing the older terminology of “international health.” We describe the role of the World Health Organization (WHO) in both international and global health and in the transition from one to the other. We suggest that the term “global health” emerged as part of larger political and historical processes, in which WHO found its dominant role challenged and began to reposition itself within a shifting set of pow…
A transição de saúde pública 'internacional' para 'global' e a Organização Mundial da Saúde
No contexto da saúde pública internacional, 'saúde global' parece estar emergindo como um termo de reconhecida preferência. Este artigo apresenta uma análise crítica do significado e importância de 'saúde global', e situa sua crescente popularidade no contexto histórico. Um foco específico deste estudo é o papel da Organização Mundial da Saúde - OMS, tanto na saúde 'internacional' quanto na 'global', e como um agente na transição de uma para outr…
Rudolf Carl Virchow
GENERALLY REGARDED AS one of the most brilliant and influential biomedical scientists of the 19th century, Rudolf Carl Virchow was, remarkably, also one of the most courageous and inspiring proponents of social medicine.1 He was born on October 13, 1821, in Schivelbein, Pomerania, then in eastern Prussia, but since 1945, part of northwestern Poland. Rebellious and intellectually gifted, in 1839 Virchow won a scholarship in 1839 to the Friedrich-W…
WHO at 60
WHEN WE THINK OF THE WORLD Health Organization (WHO), a number of dramatic moments and milestones leap to mind: the launching of the new international health organization in 1948 with the stirring preamble to its constitution; the visionary Alma Ata Declaration of 1978; the announcement in 1980 of the eradication of smallpox, the first disease to be eliminated in human history1; Jonathan Mann’s effective leadership of WHO’s international campaign…
The Bandoeng Conference of 1937
INCREASINGLY REGARDED as a milestone event, the Bandoeng (also Bandung) Conference on Rural Hygiene, held in August 1937 in what is now the third-largest city in Indonesia, capped a surge of interwar interest in “rural hygiene” and in several ways foreshadowed the World Health Organization’s famous Alma Ata Conference and Declaration of September 1978.1,2 By the 1930s and largely under the leadership of the League of Nations Health Organization (…

Years of the Pan American Health Organization
This year we celebrate the Centennial of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).1 Born in 1902 as the International Sanitary Bureau, PAHO has gone through great transformations in its hundred-year history. From a small organization dominated by the United States Public Health Service, charged with rationalizing a complex set of quarantine regulations, it has become a genuinely international body. It now serves as the regional office of the W…
Friedrich Engels
Friedrich Engels was born on November 28, 1820, in Barmen, Germany, into a wealthy family with deep roots in the yarn and cloth industry. His father owned a textile factory in Barmen and was a partner in a cottonspinning factory in Manchester, England. At the age of 17, under pressure from his father, Friedrich began to acquire business experience. But as a spirited and precocious young man, he also published poetry, learned languages fluently, e…

Birth of the American Journal of Public Health
The article discusses the history of the publication of Health. The American Health Association (APHA) was founded in 1872 and began publishing meeting transactions in its annual publication Public Health Reports and Papers, which later was titled Public Health Papers and Reports. In 1907 the of Hygiene, originally published as the Journal of the Massachusetts Association of Boards of Health, became the laboratory section of the APHA. The article…
Milton I. Roemer Advocate of Social Medicine, International Health, and National Health Insurance
MILTON ROEMER WAS BORN in 1916 in Paterson, New Jersey, where his father practiced medicine. At the age of 16, he entered Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, as a premedical student. At Cornell, he met Ruth Rosenbaum, who was soon to become Ruth Roemer, his lifelong partner in public health and health activism. Henry Sigerist, then professor of the history of medicine at Johns Hopkins, was an important influence on Roemer during his medical s…
Andrija Stampar
ANDRIJA STAMPAR, ONE OF the most charismatic and beloved figures in 20th century public health, was born in the village of Drenovac, Croatia, on September 1, 1888. His father was a schoolteacher who, because of his liberal views, had to move frequently to escape the consequences of his political convictions.1 Young Andrija absorbed his father’s values and, though a brilliant student, sometimes came into conflict with his teachers when he asserted…
Jonathan Mann
The article looks at the life and death of Jonathan Mann, founder of the health and human rights movement. During the 1980s Mann and his family moved to what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo where he helped gather epidemiological, clinical, and biomedical evidence on HIV and AIDS in an African context. Later Mann jointed the World Health Organization and spearheaded the development of the first global strategy on HIV/AIDS, mobilized in…
Popularizing the Toothbrush
TOOTH DECAY IN EUROPE and America is believed to have increased dramatically during the 19th century as a result of the growing general availability of refined flour and sugar in industrially processed foods. By the end of the century, surveys showed that between 90% and 95% of all children had untreated decaying teeth.1 Most children saw a dentist—if at all—only for emergency extractions. In 1910, local dentists examined 447 schoolchildren in El…

Sidney Kark and John Cassel
WIDELY RECOGNIZED AS ONE of the 20th century’s most original, inspirational, and influential leaders in social medicine, Sidney Kark was born in 1911 in Johannesburg, South Africa, to which his family had emigrated from Lithuania in the 1880s.1 After graduating from high school, Kark entered the medical school at Witwatersrand University in 1929 but was forced to abandon his studies in the early 1930s because of the economic depression. He later …

Medicine in the Shadow of the Principia
In the past two decades scholars have considerably deepened our understanding of Isaac Newton and his work. In large part by exploring previously unknown or incompletely mined manuscript sources, they have uncovered significant new features of the man himself and have further unravelled the complex fabric of his mathematics, physics, and philosophy. Derek T. Whiteside, for example, has completed a masterly edition of Newton's mathematical papers,…

However, if one designs to construct a dwelling-house, [he must] Consider first how slight a shelter is absolutely necessary.' Thus Thoreau reluctantly conceded the inevitability of building.

The Common Lot
Twenty years ago, in a symposium organized to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Johns Hopkins Institute of the History of Medicine, Charles Webster called for a new social history of medicine. Urging his colleagues to heed the advice offered some four decades earlier by Henry Sigerist, Institute director from 1932 to 1947, he challenged historians of medicine to widen the scope of their studies to include all forms and contexts of medical…

THIS PHOTOGRAPH WAS published in the Fourteenth Annual Report of the Chicago Lying-In Hospital and Dispensary for 1910. Through 1910, more than 12 000 women had delivered babies at home, attended by dispensary physicians. This image was used as part of a fund-raising effort by the Women's Board of the dispensary to help build 3 small hospitals for women who could not safely be attended in their homes. The mother and child in the photograph are id…
Fee and Brown Respond
Clearly, our perspective is considerably different from Dr Henderson's. We do not see eye to eye on many things, and as a result, we have divergent views not only of the past but of our current circumstances as well. Since we don't occupy common ground, it is not surprising that we do not share the same eerie feeling of deja vu. What you see depends, to a large degree, on where you stand. On one point, we feel the need to respond specifically to …
The Influenza Pandemic of 1918
committee of the American Public Health Association stated that any type of gathering of people involving mixing of bodies and sharing of breath in crowded rooms was dangerous. It advised that saloons, dance halls, and cinemas should be closed and public funerals prohibited as unnecessary assemblies. The influenza pandemic spread worldwide through 1918‐1919, during the later phases of the war. Military populations were particularly at risk, with …
