Due to the growing demand and popularity of inpatient facilities, the hospital changed its location in 1844. It was moved to the premises of the former barracks of the Light Horse Volunteers. There, the hospital formed departments and started to help patients with various diseases and medical problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mysterious_infection\"><\/span>Mysterious infection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1955, the Royal Free Hospital experienced an outbreak of an infectious disease. The prominent symptoms were fever followed by persistent fatigue. More than 250 employees of the institution caught the infection. Therefore, the hospital had to be closed for a long period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, the institution carried out a thorough investigation to determine the disease the doctors contracted. As it turned out, it was myalgic encephalomyelitis. In other words, this is chronic fatigue syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Womens_education\"><\/span>Women&#8217;s education<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For a long time, the Royal Free was the only hospital in London that allowed women to study medicine. The institution began close cooperation with educational institutions that trained medical specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It led to the emergence of full-fledged clinical training for women in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Valuable_insulation_unit\"><\/span>Valuable insulation unit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that the mentioned hospital is equipped with an isolation unit for the treatment of serious infectious diseases. In particular, we are talking about the Ebola virus. Moreover, as for the latter, not only ordinary patients underwent therapy in the unit but also doctors who contracted the virus in the course of their duties. There were also cases of Crimean\u2013Congo hemorrhagic fever treated in the hospital\u2019s isolation unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.london1.one\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/06\/ngi3d08uhceo22zj_dws3qf3zvatxecrd3sihgm3rnnmwo2g7egvlh7nlaeqnubb4e93wwj00ztvyrhczvhqpo3acr8hs7as7ledtvhfoqtgug_qcb_iz3kfzyh1eyv2twh7s3tauhemdzslf7wmwic.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Equally significant are the achievements of the hospital staff in the treatment of liver diseases and transplantology. The institution&#8217;s specialists developed an effective method of treating kidney failure. A lot of patients need and use it. In addition, doctors repeatedly share their experiences with their colleagues at various medical seminars, symposia and conferences. After all, such an achievement is the real pride of the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikipedia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Royal Free Hospital is a large teaching medical institution located in London.
