This program pays a double tribute: to the centenary of the founding of the Institut Pasteur in Paris (1887) and to its branch in Tunis. The visual juxtaposes the portrait of Louis Pasteur with the buildings of the Pasteur Institute in Tunis, lined with cypresses. This stamp highlights the importance of medical research and biology in Tunisia. It recalls the historic role of this establishment in the fight against infectious diseases and rabies in North Africa, symbolizing the unwavering link between universal science and the progress of Tunisian public health.
