===Training and Hospital Nursing===
This article [http://shm.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/18/3/357 abstract] refers to the training of midwives in Madras in a Government lying-in [obstetrics] hospital from the 1840's
For many years nursing training was the preserve of Europeans and [[Anglo Indian|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. <ref> [http://archive.today/0RAYS ''Nursing in India'' by Shubhada Sakurikar]</ref>
