EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Civil Hospital and Office in Pathein, also known as Bassein, Myanmar (then Burma) from the 1910s. The image offers a glimpse into the past of this historic medical institution, which played a significant role in the healthcare system during the British colonial era. The Civil Hospital and Office, located in the heart of Pathein, was established to provide medical care to the local population and European residents. The building, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and whitewashed walls, exudes an air of authority and professionalism. The large verandah, shaded by tall trees, provides a tranquil setting for patients and visitors. The photograph reveals the hustle and bustle of daily life at the hospital. Doctors and nurses can be seen attending to patients, while others prepare medications or discuss cases. The scene is also filled with the sounds of children playing and the bustle of porters moving patients and supplies. The Civil Hospital and Office was a symbol of progress and modernization during the colonial period. It was equipped with the latest medical technology and staffed by skilled medical professionals, many of whom were trained in Europe. The hospital offered a range of medical services, including surgery, maternity care, and outpatient clinics. This photograph is a valuable historical record of Pathein's Civil Hospital and Office during the colonial era. It offers insights into the daily life of a medical institution in Myanmar during a time of significant change and development. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the important role that healthcare institutions play in communities, providing essential services and support to those in need.
