| 1952 | Fauabu Leprosy HospitalC J Austin wrote that in the Solomon Islands "The various Missionary bodies have already done excellent antileprosy work in the Protectorate, and are planning to do more. The best known centre of this work is probably the Melanesian Mission Station at Fauabu on Malaita, which has been established for a number of years. The leprosy station is now being rebuilt on a flat area well above the excellently equipped general hospital. There are at present, during reconstruction, 28 patients in residence, but it is hoped to accommodate 80 patients in due course. The Mission is expecting to station a doctor at Fauabu next year."
