EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the interior of The Geneva Cross river ambulance, a vital means of transporting smallpox patients from London to the riverside hospital at Long Reach near Dartford during the late 19th century. The Geneva Cross was a charitable organization that provided essential services during public health crises, and this ambulance was specifically designed for the transportation of smallpox patients to prevent the spread of the disease in the community. The image reveals the meticulous arrangement of the ambulance's interior, which was equipped with individual compartments for each patient. Each compartment was outfitted with a bell, allowing patients to alert attendants if they required assistance. The windows were fitted with mosquito netting to shield patients from the elements and potential infection. The floor was covered with removable mats that could be disinfected after each use. The Geneva Cross river ambulance played a crucial role in the containment of smallpox outbreaks during this period. Patients were transported down the Thames from London to the hospital at Long Reach, where they could receive specialized care and treatment. The use of these ambulances helped to prevent the further spread of the disease in the community and ultimately contributed to the eventual eradication of smallpox. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing insight into the innovative solutions that were employed during a time of public health crisis. It serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of those who worked tirelessly to protect the health and wellbeing of the population.
