Abstract

The paper sees the history of Spanish public health as marked by many interesting developments, some of which were pioneer experiences for their times but nipped in the bud by that wintry lack of civic and public liberties that likewise blighted so much of that which was best in her history. Recent years have shown an appreciable change in this as in so much else. The paper tells of how, the drive for universal public health has gone along in step with the transitional advances of the period and many of its ideas have been taken up and embodied in legislation such as The General Public Health Act and other similar though lesser iniciatives such as the setting up of schools of public health in the Autonomous Regions' respective areas of influence.
