Instituto de Ginecologia (Institute of Gynecology), in Rio de Janeiro, headed by Dr. Arnaldo de Moraes, was the first institution in Brazil to introduce and divulge medical techniques for the control of cervical cancer in the mid-1900s. It became a benchmark for actions geared towards the disease at the time, organizing a specific diagnostic procedure that set Brazilian medicine apart in the field, in which it remained a leader until the 1970s. The aim of this text is to discuss the organization and running of the institution from two perspectives: its role in enhancing the position of gynecology as a medical specialty, and its role in spreading a standard practice for the control of cervical cancer.
位于里约热内卢的妇科研究所（Instituto de Ginecologia）由阿尔纳尔多·德·莫赖斯博士领导，是巴西20世纪中叶首个引进并推广宫颈癌防治医学技术的机构。它在当时成为了针对该疾病采取行动的标杆，组织了一项特定的诊断程序，使巴西医学在该领域脱颖而出，直到20世纪70年代一直保持领先地位。本文旨在从两个角度探讨该机构的组织和运作：其在提升妇科作为医学专科地位方面的作用，以及在推广宫颈癌防治标准做法方面的作用。
