| 1952 | Kumi Leprosy CentreBELRA considered Dr Wheate’s ideas for leprosy control work at Kumi. He proposed gradually to transform the existing settlement at Kumi and Ongino, with the addition of essential buildings and European staff, into centres more worthy of the term "Sanatoria" and then, with these Sanatoria as a base, to develop schemes of Rural Leprosy Control in consultation with the Uganda Medical Service and the African local governments concerned.

| 1958 | Kumi Leprosy Centre"The Settlement has been modernised in the last three years to meet present day needs. Nearly half the 75 000 patients in Uganda today are in the Eastern province, where we are conveniently centrally situated. As far as possible we admit all children with leprosy to Kumi, where there is a full Primary School and a staff of qualified teachers, who have offered to teach here. More and more the serious lepromatous patients and the crippled patients are admitted to Ongino. The more able-bodied attend as Out-Patients or go to the numerous treatment villages nearer their homes. There are a growing number of these villages sponsored by the Uganda Medical Department, built by the African Local Governments concerned, and the responsibility of the District Medical Officers. We co-operate in carrying out a good deal of the clinical work. This gives us many opportunities for evangelism. We are a recognised training school for leprosy orderlies who staff the treatment villages. Boys come from all over the Eastern and Northern provinces. In 1958, there were 260 children at Kumi and 300 adults at Ongino. Dr lea wrote that "Even with modern drugs, the treatment of leprosy is a long and slow business, seldom taking less than three years, and in the more severe cases this figure is often doubled or even trebled. Much can be done for these people from a medical point of view. Brilliant research work in the reconstructive surgery of leprosy is opening up endless possibilities of hope for these crippled patients, and our recently-opened operating theatre will soon be hard at it in this work; while our new laboratory is now beginning to take its place among other research centres all over the world."
