| Sumario: | The Colonial Medical Service was the personnel section of the Colonial Service, employing the doctors who tended to the health of both the colonial staff and the local populations of the British Empire.

This collection of essays shows the diversity and active collaborations to be found in the untidy reality of government medical provision. |
