Part 4: Formation of St. Mungo’s

St Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries was most likely formed around 1612. It happened with the Goblin Rebellion during this year. St Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries was founded by Saint Mungo Bonham. The main purpose of this hospital was to act as a centralized institute to cater the needs of magical people. St. Mungo was a healer that was famous. He was also a famous potioneer. St Mungo was born in March of 1560. During school, he wrote a thesis called, “The Importance of Potions and Availability to All.” This piece argued the need for all kinds of potions in any situation, that they should be made available to the public. He said that individual healers were unable to handle the whole population as a patient. After school, he dedicated 15 years of his life to working with potions. He liked to experiment with them. His experiments were mostly failures.

St Mungo soon discovered that the rich received all the potions. The potions were not available for the poor. The rich doctors only served rich clients. The poor people died and suffered. Mungo made potions more accessible for everyone. At the end of the year of 1947, the hospital started accepting muggles who was injured by magical people.
