Dr. Frederick Montizambert (1843-1929): Canada's First Director General of Public Health
|
| Abstract |
Although well-educated and socially prominent within Quebec City's Anglophone community, Frederick Montizambert chose a career in public health rather than in private practice. He began as a quarantine officer and devoted his career to improving procedures first at his station at Grosse Île, an island below Quebec City, and eventually for all of Canada. The last third of the nineteenth century withnessed the passage from methods of quarantine based on detention to the use of disinfection techniques based on theories of bacteriology.
