Abstract in Portuguese
De uma maneira geral, a ação da Inspetoria de Higiene, representada principalmente pelas Delegacias de Higiene, revela justamente o que estava em pauta no cenário local: embora o discurso científico fosse voltado para a ocupação e compreensão do sertão, poucos eram os médicos e farmacêuticos formados pelo saber acadêmico que estavam dispostos a ocupar estes cargos no interior. Embora a Inspetoria de Higiene priorizasse o saber formal e buscasse legitimar o ofício da medicina e da farmácia em detrimento das práticas de cura, a maioria dos atendimentos terapêuticos do interior era prestada por práticos.
Abstract
In general, the action of the Hygiene Inspectorate, represented mainly by the Hygiene Police Stations, reveals precisely what was at stake in the local scenario: although the scientific discourse was focused on the occupation and understanding of the hinterland, there were few doctors and pharmacists formed by academic knowledge who were willing to occupy these positions in the interior. Although the Hygiene Inspectorate prioritized formal knowledge and sought to legitimize the profession of medicine and pharmacy to the detriment of healing practices, the majority of therapeutic care in the interior was provided by practitioners.
