Salvador Mazza practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Salvador Mazza as Argentine physician (1886–1946).
Salvador Mazza was born at Buenos Aires in 1886. His recorded nationality is Argentina. He trained at Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Buenos Aires and National School of Buenos Aires.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, laboratory medicine, vaccines and public health began to change mortality at population scale.
His posts were held at University of Buenos Aires.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
That the work was done from Argentina matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Salvador Mazza died in 1946, aged 60. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
