The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Prince of Wales Hospital&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was a hospital in [[Benares]], [[British India]], built to celebrate the visit to Benares in 1876–77, of the Prince of Wales, who later became his Majesty [[King Edward VII]]. The hospital was opened by [[George Robinson, 1st Marquess of Ripon|Lord Ripon]] in 1877. Initially it consisted of one operating theatre and eight wards. Private residents could stay in accompanying accommodation. [[Peter Freyer]], surgeon with an expertise in operating on bladder stones, was once appointed at the hospital. The hospital was later renamed the Shiv Prasad Gupta Hospital.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;bl&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/apac/photocoll/p/019pho0000017s3u00025000.html|title=Prince of Wales Hospital [Benares].|last=Wright|first=Colin|website=www.bl.uk|access-date=3 November 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/?id=2K8IAAAAQAAJ&amp;amp;pg=RA13-PA40&amp;amp;dq=Prince+of+Wales+Hospital+(Benares)#v=onepage&amp;amp;q=Prince%20of%20Wales%20Hospital%20(Benares)&amp;amp;f=false|title=Madras Land Revenue Reports...|date=1872|publisher=Board of Revenue|pages=40|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:FreyerObit1921&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|date=21 September 1921|title=Obituary: Sir Peter Freyer, K.C.B., M.A., M.D., ML.CH, Surgeon to St.Peter&amp;#039;s Hospital; Lieutenant-Colonel Bengal Army (ret.)|url=https://www.baus.org.uk/_userfiles/pages/files/Museum/1921%20-%20Obituary%20of%20Sir%20Peter%20Freyer.pdf|journal=The British Medical Journal|pages=464}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/?id=6PRFAQAAIAAJ&amp;amp;q=Shiv+Prasad+Gupta+Hospital+prince+of+wales&amp;amp;dq=Shiv+Prasad+Gupta+Hospital+prince+of+wales|title=Uttar Pradesh district gazetteers|date=1965|publisher=The University of California|pages=373|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
