Johannes Christiaan Mari Hattinga Verschure , nickname Joop (born February 17, 1914 in Breda , † March 17, 2006 in Nijmegen ), was a Dutch doctor and chemist.

Life

Johannes Christiaan Mari was the son of Christian Cornelis Johannes Verschure (* December 20, 1876 in 's-Hertogenbosch; † November 11, 1936 in Breda) and his wife Francoise Marie Hattinga Raven (* November 18, 1879 in Helder; † after 1957 ). Initially, he attended the high school and the Unser Lieben Frauenlyzeum in his hometown. In 1932 he began studying chemistry and medicine at the University of Utrecht . Here he passed his doctoral examination in chemistry in January 1939 and passed his doctoral examination in April 1942. He then worked as a general practitioner in Terheyden and Breda. In 1943 he specialized in internal medicine and worked during the Second World War as an internist at the side of Adrianus Cornelis Maria Lips (born September 2, 1907 in 's-Hertogenbosch; † August 5, 1990 in Eindhoven) in Nijmegen . After a short stay in New York in 1945, Hattinga Verschure found a job in April 1946 at the medical university clinic in Utrecht. In 1946 he did his doctorate under Hugo Rudolph Kruyt with the biochemical thesis Electrophoretisch onderzoek van het mechanisme van enige klinisch gebruikelijke serumvlokkingsreacties (German: Electrophoretic investigation of the mechanism of a clinically common serum flocculation reaction ) as a doctor of natural sciences.

He then moved to the chemical laboratory of the Utrecht University Clinic in 1948, and a large number of clinical-chemical publications were created. In 1954 he received the Thijmgenootschap's Struyken Prize for his work on diseases of the liver and biliary tract. From around the 1950s, Hattinga Verschure was committed to the establishment of the Dutch Association for Clinical Chemistry (NVKC), of which he became chairman in 1951 and an honorary member from 1960. In 1952 he initiated the founding of the International Federation on Clinical Chemistry (IFCC), of which he was a member until 1958 and for which he organized the first international congress for clinical chemistry in Amsterdam in 1954. One result of this congress was the initiation of the journal Clinica Chemica Acta . From 1962 to 1965 he was also a member of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Chemische Vereniging and a member of the Chemical Council of the Netherlands. He also worked as a curator at the St. Bonifaciusgymnasium in Utrecht, where his children were educated.

In 1960 he became medical director of Our Dear Women Hospital and St. Lucas Hospital in Amsterdam . Here he devoted himself more to organizational and sociological issues. In 1962 he became chairman of the Amsterdam Hospitals Cooperation Foundation, which he did until 1970. In 1966 he initiated the Studiencentrum voor Ziekenhuiswetenschappen (German: Study Center for Hospital Science ) foundation , of which he also became chairman. At that time he was a member of the Centraal College for specialist training in the Netherlands, with his professional experience he took part in the administration of the Association of Catholic Hospitals and in 1971 he became a member of the Koninklijke Nederlandsche Maatschappij tot bevordering der Geneeskunst . In addition to being a curator in Utrecht, he became chairman of the Pius X Lyceum in Amsterdam. For his commitment to the Christian Community Youth Organization in Palestine and Israel from 1960 onwards, Hattinga Verschure was appointed commander of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem in 1975 .

On July 28, 1969, Hattinga Verschure was appointed the first Dutch professor of hospital science at the University of Utrecht, which he took on on March 2, 1970 with the introductory speech Wenteltrap naar de toekomst (German: spiral staircase into the future ). Here he was active in building the new academic hospital in Utrecht, devoted himself to questions of nursing and coined the term mantelzorg (care by relatives and friends, see carer ). He defined this as all the community care that takes place in a small social network on the basis of obviousness and mutual willingness. On the basis of his ethical understanding of care, he turned against the growing power position of professional carers, towards those in need and called for the family to be more involved in care. He had also helped found the interacademic working group for hospital science (IWZ) and advocated further improvements in the field of health care. In addition, a number of scientific works emerged and he worked as an advisor to the Dutch Ministry of Health. In 1983 Hattinga Verschure retired, in the same year he was made Knight of the Order of the Dutch Lion and in 2002 he received the Kolff Prize for his life's work.
