Inhaltsangabe

Public Health in the British Empire addresses the work of intermediary and subordinate personnel in relation to public health in the British empire. These individuals were not only essential for putting public health policy into practice, but could also impact its formation. They constitute one of the most important, and understudied topics in the history of British colonial medicine.
