    1927 MasenoFrank Oldrieve reported that at Maseno, in Kenya, some 20 miles from Kisumu, on Lake Victoria, Nyanza, there was a good mission hospital run by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) where leprosy treatment was given to patients who attended the outpatient department. He reported that "This Hospital is doing excellent work.There is every chance of the work growing to much larger proportions. This is important for us to know as there has been a proposal that a leper village, or settlement, should be built on Government land adjoining the Mission property, the idea being that the CMS Doctors could take charge of the institution." (Frank Oldrieve, British Empire Leprosy Relief Association, Secretary's Report No 5, "Report on Tour in Kenya Colony and Protectorate", 1927) [Leprosarium] [Kenya]
