| Description : |
A group of nurses from the Port Augusta Hospital with Matron Simons and the Governor and Lady Dugan. In 1873, Doctor Markham was the first registered medical Doctor in Port Augusta. He played a large role in building Port Augusta's first hospital which opened in May 1874 and consisted of two beds, one nurse and one patient. Over the years the accommodation has been increased with a new hospital built in 1972. Today the Port Augusta Hospital is an 82 acute bed hospital and provides medical services to the sparsely populated Flinders and Far North area of South Australia. |
