Foreign Medical Doctors in Spanish Colonial Philippines: Archival Index Part 3
On June 20, 1865, a royal decree approving the creation of “medicos titulares” (provincial or district health officers) in the Philippines was issued (Joaquin Rodriguez San Pedro, Legislacion Ultramarina, 1868, Vol. 10, p.477). According to Warwick Anderson, in his article Immunization and Hygiene in Colonial Philippines (Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Science, 2007, Vol. 62., No. 1, p. 6 or see http://jhmas.oxfordjournals.org/content/62/1/1.full.pdf), the first medicos titulares were appointed around 1876. In addition, Mr. Anderson stated that it was in 1877 that the University of Santo Tomas graduated her first batch of medical doctors (although it should be noted that the official website of the University of Santo Tomas dates that first commencement exercise for seven graduates of the college of medicine in 1876 and not in 1877 ( see http://www.ust.edu.ph/index.php/medicine-a-surgery/91-general-information.html). Of course, while the University of Santo Tomas was not yet granted the authority to open a medical school or had not yet graduated her first batch of medical doctors, the Spanish authorities and public relied on doctors who graduated from foreign universities. Among the bundles in part 3 can be found documents related to the application for a license to practice medicine in the Philippines by doctors, not only from Spain, but also from Germany, Portugal, Great Britain, and the United States of America (see below).
