Answer 1

1) Dr KATHERINE Stewart MACPHAIL of the Anglo- Yugoslav children's hospital in Sremska kamenica is no longer alive..
She died in 1974 in St Andrews Scotland. I don't think she married but she had a sister Isabel who also worked in Serbia and married, so she probably has some relatives still alive

Dr Macphail studied medicine at Glasgow university and the university website has quite a detailed biography of her life.

This article also mentions her work in Serbia
(It is under 5th section - permanent work in Yugoslavia)

If you want to find out more about her or if she has any surviving relatives..You could contact her old university , Glasgow... or search the public records in St Andrews. There was an unpublished biograpthy of her written by Jean Bray. You could read that in the British library..


2)In other questions you have asked whether the hospital still exists..In the 1960s the hospital was nationalised and it first was under the supervision of the Belgrade Clinic for Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology, and then a unit of the Clinic for Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology of the Novi Sad School of Medicine. It was closed in 1992..

I'm sorry I don't know what the present use of the building is as I don't live in Sremska Kamenica... But the town now has a hospital for Kardology, Oncology and lung disieses which is the most important one in Serbia, and an SOS children's villiage. But neither use the building of the Anglo Yugoslav hospital as they were founded in 1960 and the 70's
