The national Academy of medicine , historically founded in 1731 starting from the royal Academy of surgery which was integrated in 1820 in the royal Academy of medicine, is a Learned society medical located at Paris, Rue Bonaparte, but does not form part of the Institut of France.
History
The royal Academy of medicine was created by Louis XVIII in
1820, under the impulse of the baron
Antoine Portal who federated three medical learned societies: the royal Company of Medicine, the royal Academy of Surgery and the Company of the Medical college. Its statutes are founded on those of the royal Academy of surgery (
1731) and of the royal Company of medicine (
1776). The Academy of medicine, of royal, became imperial of
1851 with
1870, then national starting from March 1st
1947.
Article 2 of the ordinance of 1820, signed by Louis XVIII defines the statutes and missions of the royal Academy of medicine as follows:
-
“ This Academy will be especially instituted to answer at the requests of the government on all that interests the public health, and mainly on the epidemics, the diseases particular to certain countries, epizooties, the various cases of legal medicine, the propagation of vaccinates, the examination of the new remedies and the remedies secret, as well internal as external, the mineral water natural or factitious, etc
-
They will be moreover charged to continue work of the Royal Company of Medicine and the Royal Academy of Surgery: it will deal with all the objects of study or research which can contribute to the progress of the various branches of art to cure.
-
Consequently, all the registers and papers having belonged to the Royal Company of Medicine or the Royal Academy of Surgery, and relative to their work, will be given to the new Academy and deposited in its files. ”
With its creation, the Academy held its meetings at the Medical college of Paris. It occupied of 1824 to 1850 a modest room Rue of Poitiers, then settled in the unused vault of the Hospital of the Charity of the Rue of the Holy Father, before moving in definitively in the Hotel of the Rue Bonaparte, built by the architect Justin Rochet of 1899 with 1902. Today the Academy holds public meeting each Tuesday afternoon.
Missions
The missions of the Academy consist in answering all the questions put by the French government in the field of the public health. In addition to its role of advising State, it also can, without preliminary request, to give opinions or official statements possibly intended to be largely diffused. The Academy also works with the improvement and the diffusion of medical sciences and pharmaceutical, like with their applications. She plays also a fundamental role, with the Prices and the Stock Exchanges which she decrees each year, in the assistance with the medical research.
