Abstract:
For the 100-year anniversary of Dr. Eugene Jamot's (1879-1937) admittance to the Pharo School (then known as the Training School of the Colonial Army Health Corps), the authors describe the life of a French military physician working in Africa. Eugene Jamot devoted 22 years of his life to fighting sleeping sickness. Using a standardized approach that has become a textbook example, he was highly successful in controlling this dreaded tropical disease. Despite being criticized by some officials of the colonial administration and becoming the target of an obvious smear campaign because of his strong personality and growing fame, Jamot handed down a set of values that are recognized by most physicians working to improve the living conditions of the unfortunately still suffering African population.
