SUMMARY:Medical Business at the Close of the Colonial Era
LOCATION:Room 0.18
DESCRIPTION:During the early 20th century, great advances were made in medi
 cine. Some of these advances were based on the availability of tropical pro
 ducts, like the bark of the cinchona tree as a source of quinine for malari
 a treatment. Hospitals and medical expertise expanded greatly everywhere in
  Southeast Asia during this period, both based on local need and experience
 , and global knowledge. Local medical knowledge and practices often continu
 ed in Southeast Asia, such as the use of Indonesian jamu, and sometimes wer
 e modernized with new production and marketing techniques. New medicines an
 d chemicals developed or produced by large companies overseas like IG Farbe
 n dramatically altered the public health landscape. While WWII was a dramat
 ic political break, as was the independence of new states, the impact on pu
 blic health is potentially a separate issue. What is clear is that whether 
 on a small scale or on a global level, business activity was a major part o
 f medicine in Southeast Asia. \n\nThis panel asks presenters to prepare a r
 esearch paper on a subject of their choice which illustrates some element o
 f business involvement in this shifting health-scape in Southeast Asia imme
 diately before WWII, during the war, or in the immediate postwar period. Ad
 ditionally, presenters will be asked to consider the proposition that the e
 nd of the colonial era and World War II reduced local participation and inn
 ovation in the health sector, relating it to their own research topics.
