医疗与慈善:“上海时疫医院”及其义演活动研究(1920—1949)

Medical Treatment and Charity:“Shanghai Epidemic Hospital”and Its Charity Performance Research(1920-1949)

“上海时疫医院”是由沈敦和、朱葆三、窦耀庭等人于1920年在上海成立的一所传染病防治医院,因其位于上海市西藏中路与爱多亚路交界口,后来也被称为“西藏路时疫医院”。因为该医院的组织者多为当时上海的社会名流,所以医院运营资金较为充裕,治疗疫病成效显著,在上海地方社会中享有很高的社会声誉。1937年全面抗战爆发后,由于战争的破坏,大批的难民涌入上海,使得医院的财务状况日益恶化。面对这种严峻考验,“上海时疫医院”通过慈善义演的方式,一方面使经费紧张的状况在一定程度上有所缓解;另一方面借助义演的社会渠道,为近代慈善事业与医疗事业的互动,架起了沟通的桥梁,提高了医院的社会影响力。

“Shanghai Epidemic Hospital”is an infectious disease prevention and control hospital established in Shanghai by Shen Dunhe,Zhu Baosan,Dou Yaoting and others in 1920.Because it is located at the junction of Tibet Middle Road and Avenue Road in Shanghai,it was later called the“Tibet Road Epidemic Hospital”.Because most of the organizers of the hospital were celebrities in Shanghai at that time,the hospital had relatively abundant operating funds and achieved remarkable results in treating epidemic diseases.It enjoyed a high social reputation in the local community of Shanghai.After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937,due to the destruction of the war,a large number of refugees poured into Shanghai,which made the original financial situation of the hospital worse.In the face of this severe test,the“Shanghai Epidemic Hospital”used charity shows,on the one hand,to ease the financial constraints to a certain extent;on the other hand,with the help of the social network of charity performances,it contributed to modern charity and medical undertakings.The two-way interaction of the hospital builds a bridge of communication and improves the public influence of the hospital.
