Abstract


Biography of the Spanish Army doctor Ezequiel Abente y Lago (1841-1923). After completing his medical career at the University of Santiago de Compostela, he entered the medical corps of the Spanish Army as an assistant doctor, and he was repeatedly promoted while there until he finally attained the top position in the service. He was awarded several medals in acknowledgement for his medical merits both in war and peace periods. The former Military Hospital of Coruña was officially given his name in the year 1996, thus acknowledging his competent directorship of the hospital in the period of the repatriation from Cuba of wounded soldiers after the Spanish-American war of 1898.
