Abstract

Ramón Carrillo (1906-1956), an important Argentine physician, professor, scientist, health scientist and Minister of Health under the Perón administration, in Argentina, brought a new vision of public health for Latin America. With the fall of the Peronism, in 1955, Carrillo was exiled in the city of Belém, Pará State, Brazil, where lived for about a year until his death. This article shows what activities he developed in the capital of Pará, considering that some of his biographies do not report properly this stage of his life.
