Monastic infirmaries were models for early hospitals as they were staffed by religious men and women, mostly Nuns. Monasteries tended to be better built and were cleaner than most other building, more hygienic. They were better supplied with food and medical supplies than typical residential location.

Despite their being a hospital, the plague affected members of the Monastery, losing 45.1% of their population. In light of the plague, women were expected to procreate than be unfruitful within the cloister.
