De verzorging van zieke en gewonde soldaten in Groningen en de ommelanden, 1665 en 1672

Abstract

The medical attendance of ill and injured soldiers in the province of Groningen in 1665 and 1672 The article deals with the medical attendance and nursing of ill and injured soldiers in the province of Groningen in 1665 and 1672. From the sources it appears that provisions were made for both own and hostile soldiers. The physicians, chemists and medicaments were for the greater part supplied by the provincial government of Groningen. This was considered a matter of course and it links up with the traditions of naval battle, were medical care was the rule rather than the exception.
