| 1958 | Kondhwa Budruk (Kondova Leper Home)As described by Dr Antia, and extracted from The Indian Leprologists Look Back, Wadala, Bombay: Acworth Leprosy Hospital Society for Research, Rehabilitation and Education in Leprosy, 1990?: 3, which was transcribed from a tape received on July 26, 1988. It was during my stay in Poona [1958?] that I happened to go one evening on a pedal cycle towards the hills and saw the Leprosarium which was still under the Government of Maharashtra. It was an old Scottish Mission Leprosarium which was in a grim state - this was the Kondhwa Leprosy Hospital.There was a barbed wire fence and armed police standing outside; it was really filthy and dirty. ... Shortly after that the Kondhwa Leprosy Hospital was taken over by the Poona District leprosy Committee under Dr Bandorawalla. They certainly cleaned up the place. There was a small circle of buildings built by the missionaries. One little building with lots of glass windows was the Operation Theatre and in the circle were the other small wards. There was only a very rickety wooden table with thin metal legs tied with a piece of string. This was the only furniture in the Operating Theatre suite! It was difficult to start. I could not get any nurse or doctor or anaesthetist to help me, but I picked up courage and took the instruments and gowns and everything else from Poona. For the first two visits I had to go on a bicycle. But afterwards the road was opened and an old Jeep provided to me. [Leprosarium] [India] |
