EMMS Nazareth Hospital
The EMMS Nazareth Hospital, also known as Scottish Hospital and English Hospital, is the general hospital of the city of Nazareth, Israel. It was founded as a Christian mission by Dr. Karloost Vartan and the Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society in 1861. The hospital now houses 147 beds, employs over 500 staff, and receives over 50,000 visits annually.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nazarethtrust.org/history-emms-nazareth )〕
==Background==
The Nazareth Hospital project was originally led by Dr. Pacradooni Kaloost Vartan. Born in Constantinople to an Armenian family in 1835, he attended an American Protestant School for Armenian Boys. During the Crimean War, he served as an interpreter for British forces. There, he was moved and inspired by the poor conditions of war, and by the care provided at the Nightingale Hospitals. Vartan moved to Edinburgh, Scotland to study medicine. His studies were funded by the newly founded Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society (EMMS). Established in 1841 by a group of doctors, the EMMS aimed to provide medical services to foreign countries, to "circulate information on medical mission (), help other institutions engaged in the same work and assist as many missionary stations as their funds would permit."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.emms.org/about-us/origins-and-background )〕
Dr. Vartan was first funded by the Syrian Asylum Fund in 1861 to aid massacre victims in Beirut. After the Syrian Asylum Committee was dissolved, the EMMS recruited his services for a new mission in Nazareth starting in 1866.
