Resumo: The Provedoria-Mor da Saúde of Pernambuco (Brazil), the governmentagency which took care of public health in Pernambuco, was created in1810. Thereafter, slave ships that arrived at Recife were visited by healthagents who verified if the recently arrived enslaved people carried diseaseswhich were considered contagious, according to the 19th century medicalsciences. Only those who carried the said maladies were sent to the SantoAmaro Leprosarium to be treated. Once they were healed, they werereturned to their owners to be sold. The employees of that health agencyexamined slave ships that carried more than 47 thousand people to Recife.Their reports help us to understand how the slave trade was carried out ina major Brazilian harbor, before it was declared illegal in 1831.
