The war against Morocco (1859-1860) had its origin in the Moroccan continuous claim over the city of Ceuta. Morocco never accepted the existence of a Spanish Ceuta and there had been a great number of incidents throughout the time. This article describes the work of the Spanish Army Medical Corp during that campaign. The Works of the military medical doctors Antonio Población y Nicasio Landa, who took part in the campaign, had been of paramount importance. After exposing the historical facts, it is described the organization of the Army, the development of the military operations, the state of the art of the medicine and surgery to understand its capabilities and, eventually, the Medical Corp: units, medical material and supplies, deployment of the different levels along the theater of operations and the medical care in hospitals.
