Prince of Wales Hospital (Benares)

The Prince of Wales Hospital was a hospital in Benares, British India, built to celebrate the visit to Benares in 1876–77, of the Prince of Wales, who later became his Majesty King Edward VII. The hospital was opened by Lord Ripon in 1877. Initially it consisted of one operating theatre and eight wards. Private residents could stay in accompanying accommodation. Peter Freyer, surgeon with an expertise in operating on bladder stones, was once appointed at the hospital. The hospital was later renamed the Shiv Prasad Gupta Hospital.[1][2][3][4]
