EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the dedicated staff of doctors, nurses, and hospital assistants at the General Plague Hospital in Poona. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases a significant moment in medical history. The image portrays a diverse group of individuals who have come together to combat the plague outbreak that plagued Poona during this time. The composition highlights their unity and determination as they stand side by side, ready to face the challenges ahead. In the center of the photo stands Dr. Dias, the resident medical officer, exuding confidence and leadership. Surrounding him are his capable team members - nurses Miss Wheatley and Dr. Marion Hunter, along with assistant medical officer Dr. Adams. Surgeon Captain Lloyd Jones also features prominently in this portrait, representing not only his own expertise but also symbolizing the military's involvement in combating public health crises. The lady superintendent adds a touch of femininity to this otherwise male-dominated field, showcasing women's contribution to healthcare even during those times when gender roles were more rigidly defined. This photograph serves as a testament to these brave individuals' commitment to saving lives amidst adversity. It offers us a glimpse into India's rich cultural heritage while reminding us of our shared humanity across different continents and backgrounds. Displayed within private collections today, this historical artifact continues to inspire awe for its depiction of selflessness and resilience within healthcare professionals throughout history.
