<h5>OVER 128 YEARS OF MEDICAL EXPERIENCE CARING FOR THAIS AND EXPATRIATES</h5><h6>The Origination of Nursing Home</h6><p><strong>On 20th August 1897</strong> the British community convened a meeting at the British Legation when Mr. George Greville CMG, the then British Minister Resident and Consul General, took the Chair. The meeting concluded that a medical facility should be established in Bangkok and the Committee proposed the project to <strong>H.M. King Chulalongkorn</strong> who approved and assigned the Ministry of Education to oversee the establishment of a Nursing Home. H.M. King Chulalongkorn kindly provided supporting funds of 960 baht per year to make the nursing home a non-profit organization where foreigners who came to Thailand could turn when they were ill. The first task for the Committee was to rent temporary premises in Phya Dejo’s Road to provide a small non-profit making nursing home to see to the immediate medical needs of the resident foreign community. The first Matron, Miss Cawley, and the Nursing Sister, Miss Hitchens, arrived in Bangkok in the middle of 1898 and the Nursing Home was in operation by August 1898.</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.bnhhospital.com/en" target="_blank">bnhhospital</a></p>
