Resumen
The present work analyses some particular aspects of Oswaldo Cruz's unique biography, valuing his work, which was built along a
successful physician and scientist professional trajectory and also as a courageous and fortunate formulator of public health policies
and of fight strategies against the epidemics that seasonally affected the city of Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the 20th century.
The authors also dwell on his legacy as Head scientist and manager of the Institute that bears his name and became the template for
experimental research and medicine in Brazil and the bedrock of the Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, one of the most important Brazilian
Institutions devoted to teaching, research, development and production in health. This heritage made possible to overcome the existing
dissensions between doctors and scientists to build a sanitary movement committed to the major health problems in Brazil. Finally,
the paper explores some features of the character and reports some of his moments during his passage, as a Full Academician, at the
Brazilian Academia Nacional de Medicina.
