The text explains that 18th-century Europe saw the emergence of "noso-politics," a system of political and social practices that aimed to improve the health of the population. Foucault highlights how the concept of health transitioned from a private concern to a societal one, with the rise of state-sanctioned medical interventions, public health initiatives, and the construction of hospitals. This period was marked by a shift in focus from individual health to the health of the collective, and saw the rise of organized interventions to combat disease, such as sanitation, vaccination, and quarantine. Foucault argues that the development of noso-politics represents a new stage in the "medicalisation" of society, where medicine is increasingly used to regulate and control populations.
