Alice Marietta Marval (26 January 1865 – 4 January 1904) was an English doctor and nurse who served the patients suffering from Plague during an epidemic in Cawnpore (presently Kanpur), India.[1] Alice qualified as a doctor from London when she was only 36. Alice was sent to Cawnpore from England in 1899 under the SPG Mission (now United Society).[2] She died in 1904 serving Plague patients and was buried at Subedar Ka Talao Cemetery (now Christians Graveyard) in Cawnpore.[3] She founded the first nursing school for women in India in St Catherine Hospital which still serves the poor and weaker section of society in Kanpur.[4][5][6][7]
