The Canadian Red Cross Memorial Hospital in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, was a pre-war civilian hospital and a centre for research into rheumatism in children. The hospital was closed in 1985 and lay derelict for more than two decades afterwards. ==History== In 1914, during World War I, the Astor family invited the Canadian Red Cross to build a military hospital on part of the Cliveden estate. The Red Cross built a small hospital, the HRH Duchess of Connaught Hospital, on the site with equipment from Canada. Second World War, the Canadian Red Cross demolished many of the existing buildings to make way for a new, larger hospital with more equipment; this was named the Canadian Red Cross Memorial Hospital. After the war the hospital was donated to the UK for use as a general hospital and research centre into rheumatism in children. Soon after the completion of its transformation, it opened to the public in 1947 and soon afterwards came under the supervision of the newly formed National Health Service. In the following years, the hospital gained a large maternity unit and was also a training school for nursing and midwifery. The Special Unit for Juvenile Rheumatism served as a centre for the treatment of arthritis and rheumatism and became world-famous due to the work and reputation of its foremost specialist, Dr Barbara Ansell. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian Red Cross Memorial Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
