The Current State of the Manchukuo Medical System, and the Five Great Missions of Medical Socialisation: Mimeographed Field Document, 1933
The Current State of the Manchukuo Medical System — Mimeographed Field Document, 1933
An exceptionally scarce mimeographed (stencil-duplicated) field document of 1933, setting out the contemporary medical system of the newly founded state of Manchukuo together with what its author termed the five great missions of medical socialisation. Prepared by a working reporter and circulated in the tiny quantities characteristic of stencil-duplicated material, documents of this kind were never formally published and almost never survive.
The text is a detailed primary record of public-health administration on the Northeast Asian frontier. It treats the founding declaration of the state, the establishment of a social medical-relief system, patient statistics broken down by disease category, the organisation and functioning of the public relief hospitals, and a projected first-phase placement of those hospitals across the principal cities of the region — alongside notes on the institutions and public facilities along the railway corridor. As a contemporaneous account of how a medical and welfare apparatus was conceived and deployed, it offers material found in few other sources.
A document of real depth for historians of modern Chinese and Northeast Asian history, public health, and colonial administration.
Offered by KT Vintage, drawing on decades of trusted international sales to discerning collectors and institutions across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
