Leper's Hospital at Constantinople Exposes Suffering
A detailed visit to the Miskin Hane leper hospital at Scutari near Constantinople depicts extreme misery. Sightless patients, wasted bodies, and second marriages amid the disease are described, with notes on absurd beliefs about contagion. Dr. Zambaco, a leading Greek physician, argues leprosy is not highly contagious and may be acquired through privation. The hospital, funded by Selim’s era subsidies, struggles as funds decline, prompting steps to build a new facility.
