LUIS, Graça. The National School of Public Health: Origins and History of Public Health Education in Portugal. Port J Public Health [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.3, pp.1-9. ISSN 2504-3137.  https://doi.org/10.1159/000496515.

Since the health reform of Ricardo Jorge (1899–1901), until the creation of the National School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, on January 1, 1967, more than 6 decades passed. In 1903, the Central Institute of Hygiene (ICH) began operating, of which the current INSA – National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge is the direct heir, today with no teaching functions. The current National School of Public Health also dates back to the ICH but is the result of the test of several institutional and organizational designs: the Rockefeller model, the WHO model, the university model. It is this period that we will revisit (1903–1966) giving an account of the evolution of the teaching of public health in Portugal.
