Biography
Born in Campinas, the son of an accomplished lawyer and politician, Carvalho completed his education at the Faculty of Medicine of Rio de Janeiro [pt], moving to São Paulo to begin his clinical practice. A staff member at hospital Santa Casa, he worked as a consultant and as a surgeon before assuming the direction of the Hospital. He was one of the founding members of the Society of Medicine and Surgery of São Paulo.[1]
As a journalist, Carvalho was engaged in discussions on public health and eugenics. He proposed the establishment of a Medicine School in the city of São Paulo[2], which took place in 1912, with a decree issued by state governor Rodrigues Alves. As the school's first director, Carvalho organized its staff and structure in collaboration with the Rockefeller Foundation. He also directed the so-called Vacinogenic Institute, currently known as Instituto Butantan.[3]
