EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Al Moassat Hospital in Alexandria, Egypt, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea during the 1930s. Located in the heart of the historic coastal city, the hospital was a beacon of hope and healing for the local community and visitors alike. Founded in 1872, Al Moassat Hospital was one of the oldest and most renowned medical institutions in Egypt. The hospital's name, which translates to "The Continuous Giver," reflected its commitment to providing uninterrupted medical care to those in need. The facility was renowned for its advanced medical equipment and dedicated staff, who worked tirelessly to improve the health and wellbeing of their patients. The photograph captures the hospital's grandeur and the sense of tranquility that surrounded it. The whitewashed building, with its red-tiled roof and tall, arched windows, is bathed in the soft, golden light of the setting sun. The hospital's lush gardens, filled with palm trees and vibrant flowers, add a touch of greenery and serenity to the scene. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the hospital during the 1930s. Patients can be seen sitting on benches or strolling through the gardens, while medical staff move about the grounds, tending to their duties. The image is a poignant reminder of the vital role that hospitals played in the lives of people during this period, providing essential medical care and offering a sanctuary for those in need. Today, Al Moassat Hospital continues to serve the people of Alexandria and remains an important part of the city's rich history. The photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable institution and the dedication of its staff to the health and wellbeing of their community.
