Hospital and Medical services in Bridgetown 1829-1920
About
Dr M. Helen Henderson will present a talk tracing the development of Bridgetown’s medical and hospital services from 1829 to 1920. Health services initially provided by family members and neighbours were first supplemented by midwives and, from 1879, a succession of District Medical Officers. A hospital was opened in 1899, and nursing and domestic staff appointed. The talk will highlight the challenges, successes and failures in providing an effective district health service for a rural community.Date
