PUBLIC HEALTH AND COLONIALISM - MARGRIT DAVIES ...

Up to now far too little has been known about the influence and the effect of European medicine
in colonies and not much has been known as yet about the introduction and activity of medical
doctors  and public health in general  in the colony of German New Guinea. The present study
examines for the first time in detail the measures and goals of the German colonial
administration in relation to issues of public health. The activities of medical practitioners
medical orderlies and nurses are examined  as are problems with endemic tropical and introduced
diseases  the reaction of the native population to European health measures  the training of
native men as Heiltultuls and the efficacy of their deployment  and the introduction of western
standards of hygiene. Margrit Davies scrutinises the interplay of public health and colonialism
and attempts an answer to the question of how the especifically German variety of colonial
medicine is to be evaluated.
