The initial idea for the creation of an institute to investigate tropical diseases in Mexico can be found in Plutarco Elías Calles biographical background, who suffered from a tropical disease before being declared president. After the elections, he traveled to Europe,1 to Hamburg, to be treated for Pott’s disease or tuberculous spondylitis. He conceived the project of an institute to study this type of ailments. During his presidency, the Public Sanitary Department building, currently the Ministry of Health, was constructed in front of Chapultepec (1926-1928), but the project of the institute remained pending. Later, during Abelardo Rodríguez presidency, a proposal for the creation of a public health research center was received. Political events hindered its implementation, but Gastón Melo, head of the Public Sanitary Department of, left it established in the corresponding chapter of the sixyear plan.2,3 The National Revolutionary Party, founded in 1929 by Calles, developed a government plan in 1933 and Lázaro Cárdenas’ six-year plan was based on those initiatives. The official document of that plan, of December 1933, read “since Mexico is a country invaded by several tropical diseases, an institute will be stablished for the study of those ailments”.4 Another proposal that reinforced the latter was that of the First National Congress of Rural Hygiene, held in Michoacán, and attended by Miguel E. Bustamante and Manuel Martínez Báez. One of the recommendations demanded for the Department of Public Health to expedite the installation of the Sanitary and Tropical Diseases Institute.5 Abstract
