Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the struggle against tuberculosis in Sweden beginning in 1896 when a prize was offered for a popular pamphlet on consumption. The Swedish Medical Society had previously pointed out the need for public sanatoria. The winning pamphlets were printed at public expense and distributed alongside three sanatoria which were also erected at public expense. In 1904, the Swedish National Anti-Tuberculosis Association (S.T.A.) was founded under the patronage of Crown Prince Gustaf. The S.T.A. has campaigned for increased membership at all levels of Swedish society and has been instrumental in passing legislation to address tuberculosis. This book discusses the successes and challenges of the S.T.A. including its difficulties in securing funding, the ways it has popularized awareness of tuberculosis, its key strategies to combat the disease, and its far-reaching impact on Swedish society.
