RODRIGUEZ-PEREZ, Martha Eugenia; RODRIGUEZ-TOLEDO, Carlos Andrés  and  CRUZ-GAYTAN, Eduardo Iván. At 100 years of Gaceta Médica de México resumption. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2019, vol.155, n.5, pp.511-515.  Epub July 01, 2021. ISSN 2696-1288.  https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.m20000341.

Gaceta Médica de México, official journal of the National Academy of Medicine of Mexico, began its circulation on September 15, 1864, and continues to be positioned as the oldest medical periodical publication. However, its publication was temporarily interrupted. The present study analyzes the interruption suffered by Gaceta in 1916, its resumption in 1919, and the causes that originated that discontinuity. The consequences of the so-called Mexican revolution and the enthusiasm and commitment of the academy and its editors to continue working for the progress of national medicine are discussed.

Keywords : Gaceta Médica de México; National Academy of Medicine of Mexico; Periodical publication.
