From the activity of the British Red Cross relief mission of Lady Muriel Paget in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: The Relief Mission of the British Red Cross under the guidance of Lady Muriel Paget came to Slovakia on request of Alice G. Masaryk, the Chair of the Czechoslovak Red Cross, after the World War I. In May 1919 the Mission helped to build refreshment stations of the first aid for the soldiers of the Czechoslovak Army during the war conflict with the Hungarian Red Army. It built an epidemic hospital in Turzovka and wiped out an extensive epidemic of typhus in Kysuce. It set up 100 feeding and distribution stations for children in which in nearly two years 24 000 children had their meals every day and it built 16 stations of social and medical care for children and mothers where over 22 000 children were treated. It gave rise to the Children´s Hospital, a home for undernourished children in Modra, a convalescent home for 50 soldiers in Rosice. The Relief Mission supported other activities for children in Slovakia and it incited medical educational activity. After the year 1948 significant and conceptual activities of the Relief Mission of the British Red Crosss under the guidance of Lady Muriel Paget in Slovakia were concealed.
