Description
"Mission Dispensary, Sialkot". Exterior view showing a plain two storey brick building. A large group of indigenous people have gathered around the entrance. The medical provision by the mission was extremely important in the Punjab as severe outbreaks of diseases occurred regularly. In later years the mission would campaign for more women medical staff to treat women as male doctors were often barred from examining them. John Taylor (1837-1868) and Robert Paterson, would arrive in Sialkot in 1860 and rapidly expand the field. The mission would open orphanages, girl’s schools, women’s hospitals and do zenana work in Sialkot and throughout the Punjab.
