:*“The nursing of Europeans in India has been met to some extent in the large towns by the Clewer, Wantage and All Saints Sisterhoods and kindred private institutions." (Refer [[Nurse#Religious Orders|Religious Orders]] below).
===Trainingand Hospital Nursing===Female nursing was introduced in Madras in the late 1860’s, well before Calcutta, see page 73, Florence Nightingale and the Health of the Raj by Jharna Gourlay 2003 [http://books.google.com/books?id=egysl1oHBI0C&pg=PA73 Limited View Google Books].Read a review of this book by Ruth Compton [http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/llt/55/br_25.html Brouwer]
"[http://www.carefoundation.org.in/Clc_3.htm Nursing in India]" by Shubhada Sakurikar states that for many years nursing training was the preserve of Europeans and Anglo-Indians. The Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy (JJ) Hospital ([[Bombay]]) was the first to train nurses in western India. The first Indian lady to come forward for nursing training was Bai Kashibai Ganpat in 1891 in Bombay, implying that European and Eurasians were training prior to this date. In the years that followed, nursing schools were established all over the country in collaboration with government, state and private hospitals.
