    1961 Sikonge LeprosariumVisited by Dr ND Fraser in June.
    Fraser reported that: 'Dr. Runciman [Provincial Medical Officer for Tabora] took me by road to visit the Sikonge Leprosarium where I met and was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Jorgensen, by Dr. (Mrs.) Petersen, Sister Martha Pedersen, and by Dr. and Mrs. Andersen. Dr. Andersen had just arrived to assist Dr. Petersen in the heavy responsibilities she was carrying in both the General Hospital and the leprosarium. The work at Sikonge was well organised in every department, medical work, education and occupational activities, but the need for yet more to be undertaken was appreciated.'
