Abstract EN

Since ancient times, Algeria has known its healthy climate, pure air, and freedom from epidemics and serious diseases that were transmitted to it from abroad, including chest diseases that were rare before the settlers came, this brought the attention of French doctors, and pushed them to study the climate of Algeria and its impact on health with a view to the success of the settlement process, As this scientific research conducted during the period 1830-1962 yielded results confirming the efficacy of the climate of Algeria in treating chest diseases and the respiratory system, this natural feature which the French government exploited to establish climate treatment stations for chest diseases intended for people coming from Europe.

At a time when this beautiful and healthy picture of the Algerian climate was concealing from it a deteriorating health and living situation for the Algerian people, caused by the spread of pulmonary tuberculosis among the Algerians in a terrible way, as a result of the unfair colonial policy and gathering the population in the camps.
