Diego Álvarez Chanca
Diego Álvarez Chanca (year of birth and death unknown) was a physician and companion of Christopher Columbus.〔(Diego Alvarez Chanca ) - Catholic Encyclopedia article〕
Chanca was a physician-in-ordinary to Ferdinand and Isabella, which is how he was introduced to Columbus. He was appointed by the Crown to accompany Columbus' second expedition to America in 1493. Shortly after landing on Hispaniola, Columbus suffered from an attack of malarial fever, which Chanca successfully treated. Several other members of the crew were also treated for malaria during this period.
Chanca's opinion was also sought when Columbus was selecting a site for his first settlement, Isabella. While there, Chanca wrote a letter to the municipal council of his native city, which was the first document describing the flora, the fauna, the ethnology, and the ethnography of America.〔(Letter of Dr. Chanca on the second voyage of Columbus )〕
After his return to Spain in February 1494, he published in 1506 a medical treatise entitled ''Para curar el mal de Costado'' (The Treatment of Pleurisy), and in 1514, he published a work in Latin criticizing a book entitled ''De conservanda juventute et retardanda senectute'', the work of Amaldo de Villanova, a brother-physician.
