Calenda Announcement 1,407,708 (excerpts)

Enacted on February 15, 1902, the Public Health Act marked a major milestone in the development of the public health system in France. It marked a turning point in the organization of public health policies, notably by establishing requirements regarding sanitation, epidemiological surveillance, and government intervention. One hundred twenty-five years after its adoption, this conference aims to revisit the circumstances surrounding the drafting of this law, its implementation, its short- and long-term effects, as well as contemporary shifts in hygiene and public health policies. It aims to bring together perspectives from history, law, political science, sociology, and public health.
