- File 4/12 Bahrain State - Government Hospital, Bahrain
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence between British officials regarding the establishment of a Government Hospital and Board of Health in Bahrain, as well as the appointment of a number of British individuals as successive State Medical Officers in the country.
The majority of the correspondence is between Hugh Weightman, Political Agent in Bahrain; Trenchard Craven Fowle, Political Resident in the Persian Gulf; and Charles Belgrave, Adviser to the Government of Bahrain.
The file contains two original letters in Arabic (with English translations) sent to Weightman from Shaikh Ḥamad bin ‘Īsá Āl Khalīfah, the ruler of Bahrain, in which Shaikh Ḥamad expresses his desire for an expansion of the country's public health facilities (folios 4v and 7v).
On folio 101, the file holds two black and white photographs of Richard Henry Barter Snow that were sent as a part of his application for employment as State Medical Officer in Bahrain, a position to which he was appointed in 1940.
