Hospital ward, Scutari, Turkey, 1856. Clean, light and airy ward at the Barracks Hospital in Scutari, (Uskudar), Marmara, Turkey. It was run by Florence Nightingale, who is in discussion with an army officer, left. Soldiers in bed are cared for by nurses, and there is even a stove where other soldiers are warming themselves and reading. There are cupboards for drugs and equipment. By imposing strict discipline and standards of sanitation, Florence Nightingale drastically reduced the hospital mortality rate.
