"Modern Medicine in the Holy Land" provides an in-depth assessment
of the pioneering work of British Hospitals in Palestine in the
nineteenth century, and finds these institutions made great
contributions to the modernization of the country. The large
numbers of Europeans, spearheaded by British missionaries, who
began to visit Palestine and the Levant, brought modern medical
practices to the region. The driving factor for this change was the
medical enterprise of the London Mission and the series of
hospitals it established. This pioneering initiative led to the
development of competition among the Great Powers in Palestine and
by the end of the nineteenth century there were scores of medical
institutions that were representative of the modern age. Using a
wide selection of primary sources from both Britain and Israel,
Perry and Lev bring together for the first time the history of
medical service men who fought to improve the health of the
inhabitants of the Holy Land under the most difficult conditions of
climate and disease.
