Abstract

MACCACARO, Giulio Alfredo. Letter to the president of the College of Medicine. Salud colect. [online]. 2014, vol.10, n.1, pp.117-136. ISSN 1851-8265.

This text reprints the letter written by Giulio Alfredo Maccacaro (1924-1977) to the president of the College of Medicine in Milan, published in Jean-Claude Polack's La medicine del capitale [The medicine of capital]. This reedition more than 40 years later, in the section Memory and History, seeks to recover the figure of Giulio Maccacaro not in his individual path but rather as a person inscribed in a collective movement - along with Giovanni Berlinguer, Franco Basaglia and many others - that rethought the role of medicine and combined scientific practice with a strong social commitment.

Keywords : History, 20th Century; Health, Occupational; Health Care Reform; Social Class; Social Inequity; Italy.
