and Citizen had consequently enabled people to reflect a new designed assistance. The industrial age and the technical and technological improvements experienced the 19th century the need for an expansion of the social security system, because of health and security problems due to working activity. At the end of the second World War, the first article of the Ordinance of 4 October 1945 states : “there shall be established an organization of social security dedigned to ensure workers and their family

tuberculosis treatments. Tuberculosis is one of the best medical pointers to social inequality. The disease is seen here as typical of the links between industrialization and health, with regard to the evolution of the epidemiological model and the influence of innovatory treatments, based on chemotherapy, on the organization of care for tubercular patients, together with the socio-economic and cultural changes that have affected both French and Algerian society during the twentieth century.
