The '''David Hare Block''' is a part of [[Kolkata Medical College Hospital]].<br />
Most of the general surgical wards are situated in this building. It is named after [[David Hare (philanthropist)|David Hare]], founder of [[Hare School]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Professor of Surgery at medical college had no separate surgical wards and had a single OT at the [[Medical College and Hospital Building|MCH]] building. At the instance of Principal G. Bomford and Surgeon [[Richard Havelock Charles]], the building of a modern surgical hospital was undertaken. In 1910, the '''Prince of Wales Hospital''' was opened with 88 beds. The total cost of building the hospital was Rs 10,17,585/- and was so named to commemorate the visit of the Prince of Wales to India. It was formally inaugurated on 22 March 1911 by H.E. Lady Hardinge. In 1976, the Prince of Wales Hospital was renamed the David Hare Block (to pay tribute to the noted philanthropist and only nonmedical Principal of Medical College, on his bicentennial birth celebration.) and a new floor has been constructed.<ref name="History">{{Cite web |url=http://www.mcesa.org/history.htm |title=MCESA - History Of Matiya College |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090816195156/http://www.mcesa.org/history.htm|archive-date=2009-08-16 |url-status=dead |access-date=2018-07-04}}</ref> It now houses the surgery and cardiothoracic surgery departments.<br />
