Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of the Rotunda Hospital: An Illustrated History of the Dublin Lying-in Hospital, From Its Foundation in 1745 to the Present Time
Mosse designed that his Hospital Should serve two great purposes - the relief of the poor, and the teaching of midwifery - and these objects have ever been kept in the forefront by those who have had the management of its fortunes. Even when things looked darkest, when funds were almost exhausted, and friends seemed to waver, the Governors held fast to the rule that no poor woman in the time of her need Should be refused the relief She sought at the doors of the Hospital. There is hardly a country in the world that has not sent some of her sons and daughters to learn midwifery in the Dublin Lying-in Hospital. It seems right that the history of such an institution should be preserved, both as a tribute of our gratitude to those who have handed it down to us, and as an expression of our confidence that our successors will carry on the noble traditions of the place.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of a pioneering medical institution in Dublin, Ireland, during the 18th century. The author paints a vivid picture of the challenges faced by women during childbirth at a time when medical care was rudimentary and often inaccessible to the poor. The narrative traces the remarkable journey of the hospital's founder, a visionary surgeon and midwife, as he navigates societal skepticism and financial hurdles to establish the first lying-in hospital in the British Isles. The book explores the evolution of obstetric practices, the impact of poverty and social class on maternal health, and the transformative role of philanthropy in shaping healthcare for women. Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, the author unveils the hospital's profound influence on medical education and the advancement of midwifery. The legacy of this institution, as a beacon of hope and healing for countless women, serves as a testament to the enduring power of compassion and human ingenuity in the face of adversity.
