title: [Ramisiray: One of the first doctors of Malagasy medicine].
abstract: Between about 1880 and 1902, very few Malagasy students obtained their medical degrees from European Universities. The aim of this paper is to call attention on one of them, whose name was Ramisiray, who submitted his doctoral dissertation in July 1901 to the Faculté de Médecine in Paris. Having written it on the traditional medical practices and beliefs of the people of his own country, he became very famous both in France and in Madagascar.
