Abstract

75 years later, a re-visiting of the book ‘The medical and social reality of Chile’, finds that it could still be the back-bone of a government policy and plan for the XXI century, given that suitable epidemiological and political upgradings are introduced. The book, written by Dr. Allende in 1939 when he was Minister of Health for President P.Aguirre Cerda, is a thorough and systematic presentation of all factors involved in the diagnosis and planning of health and medical services. The reviewer concludes that Dr. Allende would have deserved an honorary degree in Public Health (none existed at the time in the country).
