Abstract
AGOSTONI, Claudia. The Necessary Triangle: Doctors, Architects, and Hospital Administrators in Mexico City, 1940-1950. Secuencia [online]. 2023, n.117, e2132. Epub Aug 01, 2023. ISSN 2395-8464. https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i117.2132.
The study of the crucial interaction and collaboration between doctors, architects, and administrators to achieve the hospital reform undertaken in Mexico in the 1940s is the subject of this article. The way this collaboration between experts was managed, the diagnoses and proposals they made, and the limitations they observed, are issues which, despite their relevance, have not featured prominently in historical research. This article therefore seeks to contribute to the study of the importance of solving the health care problem in the 1940s and the beginning of the following decade, a moment of intense innovation and expansion of hospital spaces.
