Info
The Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de Goa was established in 1842 and had been planned by the Chief Physician Matheus Rodrigues Cesario Moacho. This school was established by Order of the then Governor Conde das Antas, of November 5, 1842.Since its founding until 1963, the year of its formal extinction, the Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de Goa produced some 1,327 doctors and 469 pharmacists.
In the course of more than a century of existence, the Escola Médica de Goa created professors, military surgeons, hospital and medical charities, health delegates and clinicians. Many of these gained name and fame.
Doctors trained by the Goa School (Escola de Goa) contributed, especially overseas, for the health of these provinces, both in the fight against epidemics in the colonies, as also to aid indigenous peoples. The Metropolis (Lisbon) recognized and paid due honour to the pioneers of scientific colonization in the Portuguese lands of Africa and Asia.
