EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scene at the Plague Hospital in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, circa 1908. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the medical facility during a time when the city was grappling with a major plague outbreak. The image shows a hand-powered wheeled trolley, laden with stretchers, being pushed through the hospital grounds. The trolley is accompanied by a gas lamp, providing much-needed light and illumination in the dimly lit hospital. The use of such a lamp was essential for medical staff as they attended to patients around the clock, working tirelessly to provide care and treatment. The hospital, with its high walls and barred windows, was designed to isolate and contain the spread of the plague. The shade covering the entrance suggests that the hospital was taking measures to protect its patients from the harsh Indian sun. The image also reveals the stark reality of the situation, with patients lying on stretchers outside the hospital, awaiting admission. The Plague Hospital was a vital institution during this period, providing essential medical care to those affected by the disease. The medical staff worked under challenging conditions, risking their own lives to save others. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by medical professionals during times of crisis and the resilience of communities in the face of adversity.
