Cork North Infirmary : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cork North Infirmary
The North Infirmary was the first general hospital to be opened in Cork. Originally holding only 24 beds, it eventually expanded to 115 beds. It was used as a fever hospital during the famine, housed Irish soldiers wounded in World War I and covertly treated wounded Republicans during the Irish War of Independence. The infirmary closed its doors on 26 November 1987. ==Early history== The North Infirmary was built on the site of the St Mary’s Church that was destroyed during the Siege of Cork in 1690. Construction began in 1719 with the 70 feet long by 24 feet wide building, containing 24 beds, completed the following year. Most of its patients during the early years were from the poor and mostly Catholic segments of society. The infirmary’s initial funding came from donations from the community, but population growth in Cork quickly outpaced this funding. In 1744 members of a musical society used their surplus funds to help expand the infirmary to allow 11 physicians and five surgeons to practice there. An Act of Parliament recognised the infirmary in 1752, which secured its future.
