La prensa médica en Canarias: la revista La medicina canaria en el período de entreguerras (1925-1931)

Abstract

The scientific press in the Canary Islands (Spain) began practically in the Twentieth Century. The rise of medical reviews is the initial mark of the divulgation of new therapeutical techniques and, for all, the communication meeting point and improvement among the professionals. La Medicina Canaria is one of reviews which describes this process, with an interesting historical development —temporal and thematical— during the interwars period in the islands. From Tenerife, it was followed by the major part of physicians and well read people in the archipelago. In this paper, I study the conserved numbers of review and discover their historical importance, divulgative as much as medical.
