Contribuciones de la medicina española al mundo

This work highlights the contributions of Spanish physicians, biochemists, and pharmacologists to the international scientific community. It underscores the milestones in the development of medicine and related sciences through the biographies of more than forty key figures in this field, from the Middle Ages (or Al-Andalus) to the present day. Albucasis, Miguel Servet, Daza Chacón, Balmis, Pagés, Ramón y Cajal, Trueta, Severo Ochoa, Gil-Vernet, Oró, Borrell, Barbacid, Salas, Llovet, V. Fuster, J. C. Izpisúa Belmonte, and others are among the protagonists featured in these pages. This is an essential work, written and conceived by prestigious physicians, whose aim is to share these stories with new generations of doctors, scientists, and researchers, as well as the general public, in the hope that it will inspire them to continue along the path forged by these illustrious figures and cultivate a drive for discovery and innovation.
