EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of public health care in England. Taken circa 1910 at the Joyce Green Smallpox Hospital in Dartford, near the Thames, the image shows a patient being carefully removed from a motor ambulance. The hospital, operated by the Metropolitan Asylums Board, had opened in 1903, marking a significant shift from the previous reliance on hospital ships moored nearby. The Metropolitan Asylums Board, established in 1855, was responsible for managing and maintaining a network of hospitals and asylums in London and its suburbs. The opening of Joyce Green Hospital was a response to the growing need for a dedicated smallpox facility, as the disease continued to pose a significant public health threat. The arrival of the motor ambulance marks a crucial advancement in the transportation of patients, allowing for faster and more efficient transportation to the hospital. The patient, lying on a stretcher, is being carefully lifted from the vehicle, indicating the importance of careful handling and attention to the needs of the sick. The hospital at Long Reach, which replaced three hospital ships moored on the Thames, was a testament to the progress being made in public health care. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the dedication and care provided by medical professionals during a time when infectious diseases posed a significant threat to the population.
