Why was Walter Reed Hospital named after Walter Reed?

Walter Reed (1851-1902) was a United States Army doctor who became internationally known after he and his colleagues on the Surgeon General's Yellow Fever commission discovered that the mosquito was the vector for the transmission Yellow Fever. This lead to the virtual eradication of the disease, saving countless lives.

In 1902, Reed's life was cut short by complications from appendicitis. His friend and colleague, William Cline Borden, operated on Reed, but was unsuccessful in saving his life. Borden wanted Reed's legacy to continue, and envisioned the creation of an Army medical center that encompassed medical care, research, and education. He wanted the hospital to be named after his dear friend, Major Walter Reed. He repeatedly petitioned Congress, and in 1905, the Army was granted the funds to begin construction on Walter Reed U.S. Army General Hospital.

Replacement Yellow Fever certificates can be given by any approved Yellow Fever Vaccination centre, but you should do the following:

Where to get the yellow fever vaccine in Mumbai?

Indian travelers returning from designated countries in Africa and South America are required to have yellow fever vaccination done (ideally) ten days before they travel. Immigration Officers at indian airports will demand for a certificate showing one is vaccinated against yellow fever. The vaccination is valid for ten years. Lack of vaccine certification means seven days spent at the quarantine centre.

Yellow fever vaccination for international travel can only be gotten at the following two centres in the city. No other govt. or private centre can provide the immunization certificate (including hospitals like Apollo). I have heard cases in Chandigarh and other cities in North Indian where this happens but not yet in Mumbai.
