Abstract
The development of international health from a historical point of view has undergone
major advances in recent times and constitutes a substantial part of the current agenda
for historians of medicine. Within this framework, and focussing on a specific case study
(international responses to poliomyelitis outbreaks in the 20th century), we explore the main
actions and achievements of agencies such as the WHO and other private and international
scientific organizations. Furthermore, this paper seeks to identify the Spanish presence and
absence in these activities, their causes and consequences.
