Povestea lui Victor Babeș, primul medic român nominalizat la Nobel care a găsit leacul bolilor sărăciei. Statul l-a umilit și i-a cerut bani pe folosirea grajdului și a cailor

Victor Babeș, a pioneering Romanian physician, made significant contributions to infectious medicine and was the first Romanian nominated for a Nobel Prize. He developed vaccines and serums to combat diseases like diphtheria and tuberculosis, addressing public health issues in Romania. Despite his achievements, he faced governmental neglect and financial constraints, which hindered his research and the functioning of his institute. Babeș highlighted the dire health conditions of rural populations and advocated for better medical practices and hygiene. His work was recognized internationally, yet he struggled against local disparagement and bureaucratic obstacles.
