Celebrating Ignác Semmelweis - ‘The Saviour of Mothers'
Wed 10th 2-4pm, Perrin LT
You are invited to join Queen Mary University of London and Embassy of Hungary in London at a celebratory event commemorating the 204th anniversary of the birth of Dr Ignác Semmelweis, a 19th century Hungarian obstetrician who recognised that handwashing before examining mothers in labour can prevent childbed fever. He pioneered antiseptic procedures which lead to the subsequent significant reduction of mortality at obstetric wards.
We are delighted to be joined by Sir Mark Rylance, a prominent British actor, playwright and theatre director, who will read a a short excerpt from his recent play Dr Semmelweis. Headlining at Bristol's Old Vic the play explores the struggle of the Hungarian physician to convince the medical establishment about the value of his findings.
