It is generally known that the most important medical contributions to the world have been made by scientists from the UK, Northern Europe, America, and Italy. Nevertheless, Spain has produced lesser-known but significant medical contributions to the global community, often by scientists working almost alone (like Ramón y Cajal), in small groups, or primarily in foreign institutions. This book aims to provide readers, both specialists and the general public, with a selected group of contributions made by these scientists to the world medical community. It will depict fascinating stories from the old Islamic-Jewish times and the Renaissance, intertwined with religious Counter-Reformation idealism, as well as the organization of marine expeditions to bring newly discovered vaccines to the world.
