Hassine Bouhageb

Hassine Bouhageb (Arabic: حسين بوحاجب) born 20 October 1872 and dead 13 March 1946.

Hassine's father, Salem Bouhageb was a big reformer, in Europe and especially in Paris, Libourne and Florence.

He represented a good sample of new generation who after finishing their studies abroad, wanted to improve their nation's conditions by continuing the reformist movement that the general Hayreddin Pacha, Mohamed Bayram V and his father started earlier.

In 1911, he got elected as the headmaster of the Tunisian Muslim Association and the municipal society of Nasria.

[citation needed] He had a remarkable contribution during the fight to counter the epidemics that persisted even 30 years after the establishment of the French protectorate of Tunisia.
