Bulrampúr Hospital. This admirable building was opened for the
reception of patients on the 1st April 1872, it is situated on an elevated
plateau to the west of the Chutter Munzil and Kaishur Bagh, and has been
erected at the sole expense of the Maharajah of Bulrampúr who has sup-
plemented the gift by funding a lac of Rupees for the monthly pay of the
establishment, latterly he has in addition given the very handsome sum of
one thousand Rupees monthly for the purpose of establishing a Medical
Vernacular School, which is to be shortly opened, and as this school will be
associated with each district Municipal Committee in the province, the nu-
cleus of an excellent Medical School for Oudh will be formed, which will be
in active operation immediately. The elevation of the main wards is 27
feet, while that of the female and the European wards is 29 feet. The
whole Hospital has been divided into five wards, each being built in
distinct blocks, quite separate from one another, each patient in the
main wards has a superficial area of about 92.125 square feet, and a cubic
space of 2026.7 cubic feet, while those in the female wards have an average
space of 93 square feet, and 2229.3 cubic feet, and those in the European
wards yet as much as 137.5 square feet, and 3,300 cubic feet per head.
The contagious ward is a distinct building having two rooms, each 22 feet
long, and 15 feet broad, and can well accomodate four to six patients. The
ventilation is perfect, both through the doors and also through the sky-
light windows constantly kept open. All the buildings are pukka of the
best kind. No better building could have been planned for a Hospital,
according to the recent improvements in Hygine. The ground round
the Hospital is perfectly free and open, with a slight exception. Cook¬
houses are two, one for Hindús, and one for Mahomedans, both situated
at the eastern side of the compound, at a distance of about 125 feet from
the wards. They are quite separate from each other, and are perfectly lit
for their purpose, dry earth is freely used in the latrines.
Latrines and urinals. Each ward has an urinal attached to it at the cor-
ner quite separate and beyond the current of the winds blowing through the
wards. The latrines are two, one on the north and the other on the south,
on each extremity of the compound, being 68 feet distant from the wards,
and 75 feet to the west of the contagious diseases ward, and the Sub-Assistant
Surgeon's quarters, each consists of eight seats in two compartments.
Drainage. The ground is so elevated that no artificial drainage has
been found necessary.
Water supply is sufficient in quantity, supplied from a well in the com-
pound, further arrangement is in preparation for supplying a tank to each
ward, the water of the well is of the first quality.
