Since 1890, Johannesburg has developed dramatically, becoming a metropolis where the pulse of South Africa is clearly heard. So also has the heartbeat of its residents been heard in the Johannesburg Hospital since its humble beginnings in 1886, mirroring the growth of the city. With the erection of its first permanent building in 1890, the Johannesburg Hospital really became part of the city and one of the glorious landmarks, not only of Johannesburg, but of the whole Transvaal. This book celebrates and chronicles the history of Johannesburg Hospital, both the buildings that have been local architectural landmarks and the many doctors, nurses, and administrators who have all been pillars of the community.
