Sir Henry Horsman, MC, a prominent industrialist, founder of Swadeshi Mills and President of the Chamber of Commerce for Upper India for many years, established another large hospital in the memory of his mother, the Alice Horsman Memorial Hospital and Dufferin Hospital. Both hospitals, together with a third built in Sir Henry Horsman’s memory are still used as government hospitals in Kanpur.[1]

In 2010, a five-story private ward was added to the hospital.[2]
