Hospital Na Františku - from religiouses, over the emperor, up to present day
BARTÍKOVÁ, Alžběta
Located in the heart of the capital city of Prague, hospital Na Františku is the longest operating healthcare facility in Czech Republic and possibly even in the wider region. Its origins date back to the mid-14th century, with the first mentions of its buildings found in historical sources. Despite its rich and extensive history and current status as the longest operating hospital, there is currently no standalone publication that comprehensively addresses the history of the hospital and the circumstances that influenced its evolution. The aim of this work is to provide a comprehensive and chronological overview of the historical events at the hospital. Additionally, this work seeks to impart knowledge to all those, who are interested in the hospital's past, as it provides more detailed descriptions and explanations of some of the more publicly appealing facts that are often misinterpreted due to questionable journalistic popularization. The whole diploma thesis has been conducted as a qualitative historical research, with the chosen investigative method being analysis of historical sources. The main origins of information were historical books, contemporary periodicals, and archival materials. All the information have been thoroughly analyzed and utilized to reconstruct the history and operation of the hospital. A significant resource was the collection of the Brothers of Mercy stored in the National Archive of Prague, along with numerous books and documents from the Brothers of Charity library and archive in Brno. Additional historical literary materials were discovered within the library of Institute for history of medicine and foreign languages. The synthesis of data primarily focused on key historical events that occured at the hospital as well as the eminent figures who worked within its walls. The history of the facility is also strongly associated with the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God, that run the hospital for over 300 years. Therefore, attention is also given to this order and the healthcare provided by the brothers at the hospital. The outcome of the work is a detailed summary of key events and changes within the hospital over the centuries. Each period is described with an emphasis on significant transformations, innovations, events, and personalities associated with the hospital. Additionally, the work covers key historical events such as epidemics, wars and changes in social and political conditions that have influenced the hospital and healthcare in a broader context.
