Abstract
In a transitional time for Romanian lands, in Wallachia starts the process of establishing a medical system and a network of midwives at national level. After the foundation of a School of Midwives that coexists with the presence of foreign midwives with diploma the State encourages the counties to receive them as collaborators of official appointed doctors. The present study traces the presence o such midwives sent from the capital to the residence-towns of the counties through the case-study of Brăila, a port-city of Wallachia. It follows the dynamics of a relationship between authorities, community, patients and the midwife for more than a decade (1841-1860).
