Lack of funds caused the collapse of the army hospital system

Evidence

It was one thing for Clot Bey or the medical authorities in Cairo to stipulate that soldiers were to be segregated and regularly examined, it was another thing for this segregation and these examinations to be carried out as planned. Lack of funds seems to have been one of the principal reasons for the dilapidated condition of the army hospitals in Syria as well as those in Egypt, and Clot Bey was in the habit of writing bitter letters to the War Department complaining about the insufficiency of medicine and food issued to the hospitals. — Khaled Fahmy, All the Pasha_s Men_ Mehmed Ali, his…, 1086
