«Páginas médicas canarias de ayer» is the historical essay by Víctor García Nieto and Justo Hernández González (Ediciones Idea, 224 pages, paperback).
The book recovers episodes and figures from the history of Canarian medicine between the 19th and 20th centuries: smallpox in Tenerife, the Balmis expedition, health disparities among the islands, and the visit of Sir Thomas Spencer Wells. It shows how these events anticipate and explain features of the archipelago's current healthcare system.
Published in 2007, it is written in Spanish and belongs to the History of Medicine collection.
A work of interest for readers curious about the history of medicine and the sanitary past of the Canary Islands.
