En los primeros decenios del siglo XX, la situación socio-sanitaria de la sociedad española fue descrita como catastrófica, tanto en el ámbito urbano como en el rural. En aquel contexto, el saneamiento del medio aparece como una de las claves del proceso de regeneración que asumió la higiene en su papel de mediadora. A través de las obras los higienistas G. De Membrillera y Luis Muñoz Antuñano, publicadas en 1921, nos hemos acercado al ánálisis de la situación sanitaria de la España rural durante este periodo
During the early of the 20th century, the Spanish socio-sanitary situation was described as catastrophic, both in the urban as well as in the rural setting. In that context, sanitation emerged as one of the key elements of the regeneration process taken on by hygiene, in its role as mediator. Through the works of hygienists G. de Membrillera and Luis Muñoz Antuñano, published in 1921, we have approached the analysis of the sanitary situation of rural Spain during this period

Adverse environmental conditions affect the economic, social, and health development of the population. Economically, they keep an important portion of the population from reaching the productive stage of their life and thus deprive them of the opportunity to begin repaying the investment they represent. Socially, such conditions give rise to pessimistic or passive attitudes toward what might otherwise have led them to improve their living standard. And from the viewpoint of health, conditions of this nature are known to be the basic cause of the diseases that most endanger the human potential of a country: the diarrheal and hookworm diseases, to cite but a few
A review of the situation regarding water supplies shows that the first water supply system in the country is now under construction; almost all of the existing supplies are individual, and 50 per cent have facilities within the house, the majority of them on the basis of bored wells. As regards excreta disposal, the beneficial effects of the two campaigns against hookworm disease undertaken in 1924 and 1952 are clearly evident, since 88 per cent of the homes have some kind of disposal system, chiefly latrines. However, such sustems are in need of improvement
This situation has endured until now owing to the inadequate resources assigned for sanitation on the part of both the state and the community, and to the inbalance in the ... (AU)
