Meath Hospital

The Meath Hospital () was a general hospital in the Earl of Meath's Liberty in Dublin, Ireland. It was absorbed into the Tallaght Hospital in June 1998.
History.
The hospital was opened to serve the sick and poor in the crowded area of the Liberties in Dublin in 1753. It then moved to larger premises in Heytesbury Street in 1822.
In the nineteenth century the Meath Hospital achieved worldwide fame as a result of the revolutionary teaching methods and groundbreaking research carried out by Robert Graves and William Stokes, physicians of the hospital. One example was when during a typhus epidemic Robert Graves introduced the revolutionary idea of giving food during the illness ("he fed fevers" was what Graves requested be inscribed on his tombstone).
It was absorbed into the Tallaght Hospital in June 1998. The original building was subsequently converted for use as a respite home.
