Abstract

The University of Athens, Greece’s first university, was established in 1837, only 7 years after the end of the War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire, a harsh battle that lasted 9 years.

Dermatology and venereology were initially taught to a limited degree by professors of hygiene and, afterward by surgeons.
