Vlasta Kálalová Di-Lotti in Iraq: Medical practice and scientific research
Original language description
After the WWI Czechoslovak republic emerged as one of the successor states of Habsburg monarchy. New republic opened an opportunity for scientists to be a part of the “construction of a Czechoslovak nation” phase. Czech physician, Vlasta Kálalová Di-Lotti, founded (with help of first Czechoslovak president Masaryk) a hospital in Baghdad in 1920s to encourage the research of tropical diseases in Czechoslovakia. She specialized in surgery and was fluent in many languages including Arabic, Persian and Turkish. She planned to run a hospital that could be later transformed into scientific institute for research of tropical diseases. As this goal was nearly impossible to achieve due to bad cooperation with her colleagues in Prague, she decided to collaborate with Jan Obenberger, entomologist from the National museum on a project concerning entomological research in Iraq.
