Journal Title: Journal of Plant Development - Year 2016, Vol 23, Issue 0
Abstract
Remarkable personality, Anastasie Fătu, has organized the medical and social assistance in Moldova. The development of science in the first modern university of Romania and the establishment of the first botanical garden in Iasi, recommend him as the founder of the school of medicine and natural sciences in the United Principalities. Academician Emil Pop (1967) considers that Anastasie Fătu “...he is in the history of Romanian medicine as a famous physician of the poor and the main organizer of hospitals in Moldova, tasks that have taken more time and energy, probably most of his professional activity. And yet, we the botanists, consider Fătu as one of us, as an evolved botanist and extremely progressive for its time, which created solid foundations for botanic education at university and which sacrificed on the altar of science with a rare generosity and a strong love for national culture not only his entire working power, but the savings acquired with sorrow. Fătu is, during the cultural renaissance of the young Romania, an extraordinary example of the great private initiatives, on the basis of which he could call the intellectualists of his time for big collective actions for the progress of the delayed scientific research…” Its scientific work recommend him as a brilliantly representative of advanced social aspirations of his time, being one of the most remarkable figures in the history of medicine, science and culture of Moldova. This spiritual legacy is embodied in approximately 3000 pages, published in more than 40 years of activity.
