[2] Through these practices, she brought the Kashmir Mission Hospital to modern European standards based on the germ theory which had been developed only decades before.

[2][14] She was especially in charge of the women's wards in the Sir Petrabh Signh Pavilion, as nursing care was done by those of the same gender as the patient.

[4] Throughout her time in Kashmir, Neve actively corresponded with the American Journal of Nursing, describing her work in detail and offering advice to other missionaries.

[16][5][4] Through these, she created a guidebook for other nurse missionaries to follow, whether in South Asia or elsewhere, and written record of Kashmir's culture.

She describes the way that it is looked down on for men to care for women outside of their families, explaining why the hospital and its staff were segregated by gender.

She reports 173 admissions in 1908 and the average length of stay to be 1,104 days because leprosy is a chronic disease and those infected had to live in years of quarantine to protect others.
