    1927 Ng'oraFrank Oldrieve reported that the Church Missionary Society (CMS) was already doing leprosy work at Ng'ora, and this was being extended with aid from BELRA "under the direction of Dr Wiggins, who has just reached Uganda. Drs Hunter and Leakey are carrying on general medical work at Ng'ora so this station will have three medical men and at least two nurses. Everything should be done to ensure that this station is well supplied with all that it needs, as it is likely to become the main treatment centre for the whole of the Eastern Province of Uganda. The CMS are also working in the Southern part of the Western Province and possibly this work might be developed."
