Historical hospitals

Before Tunisia was a French protectorate, it had only two health establishments: the Sadiki Hospital and the French civilian hospital. In 1881, after the establishment of the protectorate, there were only four healthcare establishments: the Belvédère Military Hospital, the French civilian hospital, the Italian colonial hospital and the Jewish hospital (1895 to 1956).[47] [48] [49] As early as 1930, after the foundation of the public health and assistance directorate, the number of healthcare facilities increased and various medical services were provided. From 1950, the administrative health structures evolved in order to better manage the health needs of the time, such as the fight against epidemicsmainly malaria, smallpox and tuberculosis.[50]
