İstanbul ve çevresinde verem savaşımı için 1903 yılında Ligue contre la Tuberculose (Phitisie pulmonaire) de Constantinople adıyla bir dernek kurulmuştur. Dr. Kleovulos H. Kokolatos (Cléobule C. Coccolatos, 1865-1944) tarafından kurulan bu dernek, 1912 yılında Société internationale contre la Tuberculose de Constantinople adını almıştır. Böylece, I. Dünya Savaşı’nın sonunda kurulan Veremle Mücadele Osmanlı Cemiyeti’nden önce, İstanbullu hekimlerin Vereme (Fitizi Pulmoner, Akciğer Tüberkülozu) Karşı Savaşım Birliği’ni oluşturarak Türkiye’nin öncü sağlık örgütleri arasına katıldıkları saptanmaktadır. Kleovulos Kokolatos, aynı yıllarda ayrıca Bulletin médical de Constantinople adlı aylık bir dergi yayımlamıştır. Derneğin 1903 ve 1912 tarihli tüzüklerinde, din, milliyet ve cinsiyet ayrımı yapılmadan İstanbul halkına veremden korunma çarelerini öğretme, yoksul hastalara parasız sağlık hizmeti sunma, dispanser ve sanatoryumlar kurma amaçları öne çıkmaktadır. Dernek üyeleri, özellikle tüberküloz hastalığının erken tanısı, sağaltımı ve genel hijyen uygulamaları eğitiminde başarı sağlamış görünmektedir. Dr. Kleovulos Kokolatos’un yirminci yüzyılın başında tüberküloza karşı başlattığı uluslararası savaşım Türkiye’nin verem savaş derneklerine örnek olmuştur.
For the war of verem in Istanbul and its surroundings in 1903 a association named Ligue contre la Tuberculose (Phitisie pulmonaire) de Constantinople was established. Founded by Dr. Kleovulos H. Coccolatos (Cléobule C. Coccolatos, 1865-1944) this association was named Société internationale contre la Tuberculose de Constantinople in 1912. Thus, before the Ottoman Society of Combating Verem, which was established at the end of World War I, it is found that the Istanbul doctors participated among the leading health organizations of Turkey by forming the War Union against Verem (Fitizi Pulmoner, Lung Tuberculosis). Kleovulos Kokolatos, in the same years, also published a monthly magazine called the Bulletin médical de Constantinople. In the association’s 1903 and 1912 regulations, the objectives of teaching the people of Istanbul the means of protecting themselves from donation without discrimination between religion, nationality and gender are highlighted, providing poor patients with free health care, and establishing dispanser and sanatoriums. Members of the association appear to have achieved success in the training of early diagnosis, maintenance and general hygiene practices, especially tuberculosis. The international battle initiated by Dr. Kleovulos Kokolatos against tuberculosis in the early 20th century has been an example of the Verem war associations in Turkey.
The Ligue contre la Tuberculose (Phitisie pulmonaire) de Constantinople convened in 1903 with the objective of combating tuberculosis in Istanbul and its environs. Established by Dr. Kleovulos H. Kokolatos (Cléobule C. Coccolatos, 1865-1944), a native internist, the League was reorganized as the Société internationale contre la Tuberculose de Constantinople in 1912. The League became the first medical association in the combat against tuberculosis in Istanbul. An Ottoman antituberculosis Society was established in 1918. Dr. C. Coccolatos also published the monthly Bulletin médical de Constantinople. The regulations of the Society from 1903 and 1912 stipulated non-discrimination with regard to religion, ethnicity and gender, in offering instruction towards tuberculosis prevention, dispension of free healthcare and the creation of sanatoriums in the capital. The members of the Society succeeded in raising awareness of the contagion of tuberculosis and implementation of hygiene measures. Cléobule / Cleovoulos Coccolatos’ pioneering association constituted a model for anti-tuberculosis societies in Turkey.
