| 1927 | OmdurmanIn his 1927 report, Frank Oldrieve recommended that the existing Leper Hospital at Omdurman be enlarged so that "in part of it accommodation may be provided for the pauper and homeless lepers of Northern and Central Sudan and that part of it be used as a hospital for cases of leprosy under constant medical treatment."

| 1930 | OmdurmanRobert Cochrane reported on his visit to Omdurman, in 1930, that "The great majority of the forty odd patients are very advanced cases, and apart from hastening on the resolution of the disease, little can be expected as a result of treatment. In addition to this camp there is a small out-patient centre in connection with the CMS hospital where about eighteen patients attend. Among these were quite a number in the early stages of the disease. Considering the type of case, the treatment on the whole was quite satisfactory. Trichloracetic Acid should be used in all camps, unless there is a staff sufficient to carry out experimental work. I am of the opinion that the camp at Omdurman is not a suitable one to be styled the experimental station."
