Royal National Academy of Medicine

The Royal National Academy of Medicine (Spanish: Real Academia Nacional de Medicina, RANM) is a Spanish institution dedicated to the study, research and promotion of the medical sciences.

It's motto is Ars cum natura ad salutem conspirans, "Art collaborating with nature for health".

[2] The origins of the Royal National Academy of Medicine date back to the summer of 1733, when doctors, surgeons and pharmacists from Madrid met to discuss medical topics.

[3] In the 19th century, during the Ominous Decade, the government ordered its closure, although it only lasted four years.

After the death of King Ferdinand VII, during the reign of his daughter, Isabella II, greater freedom of thought and science was allowed, and in 1861 new statutes renamed it as the "Royal National Academy of Medicine", a name that survives to this day.
