She is considered to be a pioneer of gerontology and geriatrics in Romania. In 1952, she founded the Geriatric Institute of Bucharest. This institute was the first of its kind in the world〔 and was recognized by the World Health Organization. Although her work was controversial, it received international attention. == Early life == Ana Aslan was born on January 1, 1897, in Braila, Romania. She was the youngest of four children, two brothers and two sisters, born to Margarit and Sofia Aslan. Aslan was said to be a very intellectual child, learning to read and write already by age four. At the age of 13, her father died, and her family then moved to Bucharest, Romania. It was in Bucharest where she began her studies. She graduated from the Central School of Bucharest in 1915. The premature death of her father, whom she was close to, was said to be the reason she wanted to become a physician. Although the medical field was not a desirable field for women to enter, Aslan decided that was the path she wanted to pursue and attended the Faculty of Medicine from 1915 to 1922. Her mother did not support this decision of becoming a physician because of financial strains, so Aslan went on a hunger strike until her mother accepted her medical career. During her time in undergraduate studies, Aslan attended to soldiers as a nurse during the First World War. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ana Aslan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
