An appeal on behalf of THE NEW MATERNITY HOSPITAL,
BIRMINGHAM by the President,
Mrs. NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN
The Birmingham Maternity Hospital was founded in 1842 in a small house in Broad Street. The present hospital in Loveday Street was built in 1907 and was enlarged in 1925, but the work has now outgrown the accommodation, and the pressure on the in-patient department is acute. The hospital takes in serious cases from Birmingham and the Midlands, and provides treatment for over two thousand mothers annually.
The new hospital will be built on the beautiful open site at the Hospital Centre. It is proposed to provide 125 beds, of which 25 will be paying beds, and the Committee are appealing for £125,000.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to Mrs. Neville Chamberlain, [address removed]
