Short lived institution that operated from 1879 to 1883 in the United States
The National Board of Health (NBH) was a short lived institution that operated from 1879 to 1883 in the United States.[1][2] It was created during the third Session of the 45th Congress, listed as chapter 202 better known as the Public Health Act of 1879.[3][4] The purpose of the NBH was to carry out a piece of legislation passed in Session I of the 45th Congress, Chapter 66.[5] Chapter 66 and Chapter 202 were redundant pieces of legislature in all aspects but one: the implementation and oversight of the NBH.
The NBH was created during a period of emergency and had substantial powers (such as the ability to mandate quarantine).[6] As the subsequent years were relatively pandemic-free, Republican members of Congress, as well as conservative lawmakers, chose not to reauthorize the NBH in 1883.[6]
