The foreigners: patients and health officials

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The direct, that is, explicit documentation concerning the relationship between foreigners - as individuals or communities of individuals of the same nationality - and the institution named All Saints Royal Hospital is scarce. Therefore, the fundamental basis in terms of sources to advance such a field of study lies in the normative dimension. Indeed, it is based on legislation, more specifically the Regimento do Hospital de Todos os Santos de Lisboa [rules of procedure of All Saints Hospital in Lisbon], that we can advance hypotheses about the actual
contours of this relationship. This does not mean, however, that we should confine ourselves to legislative resources. We must, as far as possible, draw upon the real
and concrete, giving voice to other testimonies.
