EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a significant moment in Puerto Rico's history. Taken in 1938 by Edwin Rosskam, it showcases a doctor administering an anti-malarial injection to a patient at a Puerto Rico Resettlement Administration health center in San Juan. The image portrays the early days of public health efforts on the island, highlighting the dedication of medical professionals working towards eradicating malaria. The unidentified doctor is seen carefully preparing the needle while the patient, a young girl, grimaces with anticipation and perhaps pain. The intensity of their expressions conveys both the seriousness of the situation and the hope for better health outcomes. In this poignant scene, we witness not only an inoculation but also compassion and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a reminder of how far medical advancements have come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done to ensure access to quality healthcare for all. As part of Granger Art on Demand's collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on Puerto Rico's past struggles with public health issues and appreciate those who dedicated themselves to improving conditions for its residents.
