Abstract

The Rockefeller Foundation (RF) was the first major American philanthropic organization to engage in public health issues in China and India. Since the early years of its inception, the RF has been very influential in the global development of public health, not only through its grant-making but also by participating in shaping concepts and policies. Science-based innovations with a biomedical focus have formed the basis of the foundation’s public health approach and there has always been an overt focus on technological solutions to social issues. This article explores the differences in the scope, nature, and depth of the engagement of the RF with health institutions and programmes in China and India in the early twentieth century. Drawing from archival resources and secondary literature, this article traces the RF’s historical development in China and India in depth, its philanthropic giving, its impact on knowledge construction, social policies, and the agenda it has sought to fulfil.

洛克菲勒基金会慈善事业与中国和印度的现代公共卫生
洛克菲勒基金会(RF)是第一个参与中国和印度公共卫生问题的美国主要慈善组织。基金会自成立初期以来,不仅通过提供赠款,而且通过参与制定概念和政策,对全球公共卫生发展产生了非常大的影响。以生物医学为重点的以科学为基础的创新已经形成了基金会公共卫生方法的基础,并且一直公开关注社会问题的技术解决方案。本文探讨了20世纪初中国和印度两国卫生机构和规划中射频参与的范围、性质和深度的差异。从档案资源和二手文献中,本文深入追溯了基金会在中国和印度的历史发展,它的慈善捐赠,它对知识建设的影响,社会政策,以及它寻求实现的议程。
