Özet

Bu makale, Erken Cumhuriyet dönemi Türkiye’sinde nüfus meselesini çocuklara ve çocukların sağlığına atfedilen anlamlar üzerinden değerlendirerek incelemektedir. Makalede pronatalist politikalar ile vatandaşlık eğitiminin iç içe geçtiği bir halk sağlığı anlayışı anlatılmakta; verem konusu özelinde dönemin sağlık sorunlarına üretilen çözümler tartışılmaktadır. Hekimler tarafından dönemin sağlık propagandası dergilerinde kaleme alınan yazılar üzerinden 20. yüzyıl ile beraber halk sağlığı uygulamalarının temel odak noktasında yaşanan dönüşüm, kişisel hijyenin sosyal sorumluluk alanına itilişi ve modern tıp tarafından sınırsız bir müdahale alanına dönüştürülmesi konu edilmektedir.
