  Tolosa stood out for its scientific contributions, for its initiatives for the protection of children, for its activities as a reformist hygienist, as well as for its actions in the institutional, social and legislative spheres. He contributed decisively to the formulation and approval of the Child Protection Law of 1904, the first protectionist law in Spain, known as the Tolosa Latour Law. He created maritime and mountain sanatoriums. He worked in the Hospital del Niño Jesús in its beginnings, in the first Gota de Leche of Madrid. He participated and chaired scientific societies, among them the recently created Pediatrics Society of Madrid. He contributed to give international visibility to Spanish children’s medicine. Manuel Tolosa, together with Elisa Mendoza, his wife, and their closest family and professional environment contributed to the development of social protection networks for children, and also, in providing a route for women to gain presence in the public space.
