This article focuses on the development of medical care and treatment for endemic goiter disease in Argentina from 1916-1958. It examines the Argentine medical community at the time, including its research of the illness from a social, political, and economic perspective. The authors attempt to reconstruct the extent of the medical and scientific knowledge during this time period to better understand the methodology related to the prevention and treatment of the disease. They also study the role of the government and government institutions in the research and care for patients with endemic goiter disease.
