Baghdad - the bimaristan of the Abbasids treated all comers; the hospital is a city invention. (Estate collection.)
The Ambulance Bay
Horse-drawn wagon to paramedic rig in one bay - the city's promise to come when called, upgraded for a century.
The Fever Ward
Iron beds in long rows - epidemic as the city's recurring examination.
The Vaccination Station
The queue, the card, the cold chain - public health as logistics.
The Emergency Door
Triage under fluorescent light - the ward's front line, always open.
The Reading Wall
The hall's informational panels in sequence - the argument of the gallery told in maps, figures, and captions. Read it like a chapter.
