	This free hospital is located on the turnwise corner of [[Goose Gate]] at [[Kicklebury Street]] in [[Ankh-Morpork]], backing onto two of the [[Elsewhere Alley]]s.

This free hospital is located on the turnwise corner of [[Goose Gate]] at [[Kicklebury Street]] in [[Ankh-Morpork]], backing onto two of the [[Elsewhere Alley]]s. Centrally located on the Morpork side of the river, it's a 10 or 20-minute walk from [[Tenth Egg Street]] / [[Eunice Proust]], [[The Shades]] district, [[Pseudopolis Yard]], and [[Unseen University]].

	The building is ~~labyrinthine to newcomers~~, with rambling hallways and numerous wings (see map app) ~~so unwary visitors~~ often get lost. "For at the hospital it was all too easy to set off confidently for one place but find yourself in the basement—which these days was home to [[goblins]], who maintained the huge boilers and had set up a workshop manufacturing the very finest surgical instruments" ({{TSC}}) which of course must be "boiled for 20 minutes before use" ({{NW}}).

	The hospital is unique in several ways. It is not run by a Guild or other similar organisation or business. It is run with the aim of getting the patients better. It does not require fees from those who don't have enough money. Established following a ''most'' generous endowment of land and cash from [[Samuel Vimes\|the Duke]] and [[Sybil Ramkin\|Duchess]] of [[Ankh]] (in gratitude it takes its name from the latter), it accepts continuing donations and endowments, to help it in its day-to-day business of caring for the sick in body and mind.
