that is loading to the shoulder their sack with grasses, roots, ointments and me-
dicinal ointments».

The medical deontology was based on the trilogy of the quechua morals that
governed from the emperor until the last citizen:

Ama sua you must not be a thief
Ama llulla you must not be a lier
Ama khella you must not be slack

The Supreme Tribunal in charge of guarding the execution of the laws of the
Inca in medical aspects was the «Jucha Majchey Machucuna», council of old ka-
llawayas, in front of those met the kallawayas. Some of their norms were to main-
tain contact among them, to be lent helps, to be facilitated medicines and to
protect the professional secret.

The colonization caused many changes in America, the Andean knowledge, its
philosophical, scientific and cultural paradigms converged about the knowledge
and the cultural values that the Spanish conquerors transferred to these lands.

In a principle the doctor was at the same time a pharmacist, later on the

For the supervision of the professional exercise of doctors, pharmacists, mid-
wives and the attention of the pharmacies is named in 1538 a representative of the
Spanish «Protomedicato» with the title of «Sustituto de Protomédico.» Later Lima
and Buenos Aires ones settle down.

The step of the colonial system to the republican system marks a fundamental
change in the history of Bolivia.

The medical training and the professional exercise along the years were consi-
dered and regulated together. The ordinances understood to both and the autho-
rities also investigated at the same time them.

The «Protomedicato» whose directives were not effective from 1822, start again
in the republican period in 1830. Later on, in 1893 with the creation of the Medical
Tribunals in the department capitals, the protomedicato is cancelled.

Regarding to the property of pharmacies by doctors, was very frequent at that
moment, it is regularized in 1929 with the approval of the Regulation of Pharma-
cies that oblige to the possession of pharmacist’s title to open a pharmacy.

Several decades later, in 1996, the law allows to any person can be owner of a
pharmacy.
