The Rotunda Hospital

The Rotunda Hospital was established by Dr Bartholomew Mosse (1712-59), a surgeon and midwife born in Maryborough (now Portlaoise). He trained abroad, and returned determined to establish a lying-in and teaching hospital to treat Dublin women, rich and poor. His hospital opened in a small premises on South Great George's Street, which it quickly outgrew, so Mosse began campaigning for a larger premises: running lotteries (for which he was arrested), seeking donations, and holding fund-raising events (his fund benefited from the charity premiere of Handel's Messiah). In 1757 his New Lying-in Hospital, as it was called, opened in fine purpose-built premises, popularly known as the Rotunda, on account of its tower and cupola. Sadly, Mosse died two years later, penniless and exhausted. The new hospital, designed by architect Richard Cassells, had a pleasure garden, theatre and concert hall where the fundraising continued, to enable the hospital to treat poor women for free. The Rotunda had an international reputation for its midwifery training and attracted students from Britain, Europe, Russia and North America.
