Description
"A Teacher's House and The Dispensary at Dhapewada (Saoner District)". External view of the dispensary building and indigenous peoples standing outside. Doctors at the site, such as Doctor Anna Martin and colleagues Sister Davidson and Doctor Young were able to issue medicines and to tend to patients from local villages from this dispensary building. Other treatments were carried out at the Mure Memorial Hospital, which was founded by Dr Agnes Elizabeth Henderson in 1889/90, contained several wards including a children’s’ and isolation wards. Daughter of Sir William Henderson, she arrived in Nagpur in 1890, and was put in charge of the hospital there. She retired from work in 1922 but continued to raise significant sums of money to extend the hospital and as a result new wards were constructed. Doctor Henderson died in December 1925, and as a tribute to her memory the Church at Nagpur was named after her.
