Escuela de medicina y cirugía de Buenos Aires (1799-1823)

The chairs of medicine and surgery created alongside the Buenos Aires protomedicato, opened in 1801 with nine pupils and no anatomical theatre, no chemistry laboratory and no dissecting instruments — the surgery professor bought those himself. Reorganised in 1813 as a military Instituto Médico, it was still short a surgery chair in the first provincial budget after 1820.
