"Frame 15 - Entrance to the new hospital building. The characters for the gate posts - gold on a black background - were written by our dermatologist, one of our Cheeloo graduates and classicists, whose calligraphy is much admired. To the left of the picture one can see parts of the new OPD. To the right is an over-the-street bridge, which connects the second floors of the old and new hospitals. The wing which we see protruding houses out-patient services on the first floor nursery administration on the second and private patients on the third floor." "This entrance provides for arrival by any type of conveyance. A few foreign motor cars drive up. Just inside the gate is a parking rack for bicycles. Rickshas are commonest. Stretchers bring the sicker patients, and not infrequently patients are carried in on the backs of devoted friends." A view of the new hospital building. To the right the covered walkway connecting it with the older hospital is visible. Along the gate several rickshaws are visible. More rickshaws with drivers can be seen coming up to the hospital. A mother and child are walking in the center of the photo, and more people are gathered on the left.
