Sammanfattning
X : Christian August Egeberg (1809-74) was a Norwegian military surgeon who practised surgery and family medicine in the capital city of Christiania and in neighbouring rural Baerum. He saw the medical profession's need for establishing a scientific community, for information-seeking and knowledge updates. He was among the founders of the Norwegian Medical Society in 1833 and in 1838 initiated a series of Scandinavian scientific conferences which lasted until 1929. In 1855 he established a notification system for contagious diseases with reports submitted every month from practising physician. The system was intended to provide a basis for surveillance of the so-called epidemic constitution, so that appropriate measures might be taken against prevailing diseases.
