title: [Hospitals and healthcare in Leon province at the end of the Ancien Régime].
abstract: This work is structured in two parts. First, we examine the major features of the healthcare system of the province of León around the mid-18th century, focusing on its territorial distribution, the scope of its responsibilities and its type of administration. In the second part, we study San Antonio Abad Hospital, the most important hospital in the province at that time, describing the sociological profile of its patients according to their sex, marital status, age and place of origin.
