摘要

Dr William Stewart, surgeon general from 1965 to 1969, died recently (April 2008). His activities focused on reducing health hazards associated with cigarettes and catalyzing the desegregation of hospitals in the south by withholding Medicare funding from those institutions unwilling to change this practice. A pediatrician and activist, he advocated for health services to the poor and national health insurance. This visionary is also remembered for another view of the public health future expressed in a 1967 presentation to the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials: "If s time we close the book on infectious diseases."Stewart, generally correct in identifying the public health agenda, was not alone in his assessment of the future role of transmissible diseases. The late Dr Robert Petersdorf, infectious disease expert, former Chair of the University of Washington Department of Medicine, and later President of the Association of American Medical Colleges, wrote in a 1978 New England Journal of Medicine article: "I cannot conceive of a need for more infectious disease experts unless they spend their time culturing each other."
