Abstract
The London School of Tropical Medicine, and indeed the ‘new’ discipline of tropical medicine, originated in 1899 at the Albert Dock Hospital — situated in Londonʹs east-end. The founder of the discipline was Patrick Manson — with a great deal of political assistance from the British Secretary of State for the Colonies (Joseph Chamberlain). The hospital (originally opened in 1890) was rebuilt in 1937–1938 and ultimately demolished in 1993.
