    1952 Itu ColonyThere was at the time of my visit between 2,000 and 3,000 patients in charge of one doctor, who also had responsibility for a general hospital... The whole colony bore the stamp of those indefatigable workers, Dr. and Mrs. A. B. Macdonald. It was, however, very obvious that unless the staffing problems are solved the excellent work of the past years would seriously suffer.
    The staff at Itu has, since my visit, been strengthened by the recruitment of another nursing sister. The future development of this colony will be followed with great interest, for I believe the colony has a great contribution to make towards the control of leprosy in Nigeria.'
