Florence Nightingale found appalling conditions in the hospitals during the Crimean War, characterized by overcrowding, poor sanitation, and inadequate ventilation. Many patients suffered from infections due to the lack of hygiene and proper medical care. The hospitals were often understaffed, and the basic needs of patients were not being met, leading to high mortality rates. Nightingale's observations and reforms focused on improving cleanliness, nutrition, and overall patient care, significantly reducing death rates.
Florence Nightingale campaigned for better healthcare practices, improved hygiene in hospitals, and the importance of providing quality nursing care for patients. She is also known for her efforts to improve the conditions of hospitals and the treatment of wounded soldiers.
according to freekibble.com, she had 60 cats.
How very little can be done under the spirit of fear. That is a quote by Florence Nightingale.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel did not build a hospital specifically for Florence Nightingale. However, he did play a role in the design and construction of the Royal Naval Hospital in Chatham, which Florence Nightingale visited in the 1860s. The hospital was completed in 1824, many years before Florence Nightingale's work during the Crimean War.
