Our history
The history of Bahiana it is closely linked to the history of the foundation of Brazilian medicine. When the Faculty of Medicine of Bahia, the first medical school in Brazil, created in 1808, was transferred from the Santa Izabel Hospital to the new facilities of the Federal University of Bahia, a suitable physical space was opened to install, in 1952, a second course of Medicine in Bahia. In addition to the location, health professionals with the experience and knowledge necessary to maintain a quality course were also available.
In this context, Bahia gained a school of excellence, focused on training doctors and public health professionals, which at the time was a regional shortage. The School was a joint effort not only of health specialists and academics, but also of religious and public administrators.
