abstract: This article approaches the projection and representation of scientific France in the Eastern Portuguese Empire. It deals, more precisely, with the correspondence exchanged between the Boletim Geral de Medicina e Pharmacia of the Medical-Surgical School of Nova Goa and the Faculty of Medicine of Lille. The ancient colony of Portuguese India presented a certain tradition in the publishing of medical-pharmaceutical magazines in the period between the second half of the nineteenth periodical approached certain themes of professional nature and included some articles of scientific nature with a special emphasis to certain aspects of tropical medicine and pharmacy. In Boletim Geral de Medicina e Pharmacia, it is possible to find the influence of French scientific culture on that ancient Portuguese culture. The exchange of correspondence between the Medical-Surgical School of Nova Goa and the Faculty of Medicine of Lille after World War I shows the solidarity which existed between these two institutions. It also shows the high consideration showed by the School of Nova Goa to the Faculty of Medicine of Lille and to French science and culture in general, universally recognised by the creative capacity of innovating in the service of common well-being.
