En particular, analiza dispositivos relacionados con la producción de información estadística, profilaxis de enfermedades infecciosas, higiene individual del soldado y de las unidades militares, la construcción de cuarteles modelo y la dotación normalizada de material y equipo para el cuerpo de sanidad en todo el país.
