title: [The teaching of the integral or medico-social aspects of health: history and present situation].
abstract: This paper was presented to the Scientific Workshop on Preventive Medicine held in 1977 in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Institute of Social Medicine in San Marcos National University at Lima. The author reviews the "health-disease" concept not as an eminently medical technique but as a tool for analysis of the complex problem it implies, in the web of basic relationships of the socioeconomic structure of a country. In laying the foundation for his presentation of the subject, he analyzes the historical development of the practice of medicine and of preventive medicine in particular.
