abilities in the local populations, that would turn them into
modern producers and consumers. Institutionalized services
of healthcare, together with services of modern education,
was a basic field of intervention towards this transformation.
Generalizing from the example of the work of
the medical missionaries in Antep we could say that: One
of the significant dynamics contributing to the acceptance
of modern medicine in Ottoman lands were the organised
efforts of the Protestant missionaries. The modern hospital
established by the ABCFM in Antep became, in the turbulance
of historical change, permanent and resistant, changing
into a secular, philanthropic institution. The schools of
medicine and nursing, although not as enduring, contributed
to social change in the field of healthcare.
