Get Inspired - Pioneering Health Mystery
She is Florence Nightingale.
Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) was a pioneering nurse, statistician, and health reformer—often called the founder of modern nursing.
Why she matters in health history (the “mystery” she solved):
• During the Crimean War, soldiers were dying more from infections than from wounds.
• Nightingale investigated hospital conditions and uncovered that poor sanitation, contaminated water, and overcrowding were the real killers.
• By introducing handwashing, clean bedding, ventilation, and data-driven analysis, she dramatically reduced mortality rates.
• She used statistics and visual data (like the polar area diagram) to prove her findings—revolutionary for medicine at the time.
Her work transformed hospitals worldwide and laid the foundation for public health, evidence-based medicine, and nursing education.
