New Hospital for Women

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New Hospital for Women developed from St Mary's Dispensary, a London institution founded to enable poor women to obtain medical help from qualified female practitioners - in that era a very unusual thing.

In 1866 Elizabeth Garrett Anderson was appointed General Medical Attendant to St Mary's Dispensary, where she worked for over 20 years, through the change to the new name.
