| 1951 | National Sanatorium Kikuchi Keifu-en (Kyushu Hospital) 国立療養所菊池恵楓園 "In 1951, Dr Kensuke Mitsuda and two other directors of state-run sanatoria testified before the House of Councillors' Public Health Committee. They said, `It is necessary to have laws which make it possible to force leprosy patients to be contained in sanatoria even if it is against their will. Sterilization is a good way to ensure that the disease will not be transmitted among family members. To escape from a sanatorium should be made a crime for patients and as such be punished.' This testimony ran totally counter to the trends of the times and served to halt the movement towards liberating the patients. When the patients heard of this testimony, they perceived it to be a massive blow against them, and angered they began to protest. The testimony of the three directors clearly indicated that those who represented the sanatoria refused to accept the new principles of the new times and were determined to persist in their pre-war opinion. It was this attitude of persistence that obstructed the effort to change the policies on Hansen's disease. As if to respond to the testimony of the three directors, plans were drawn up to construct a correctional facility for Hansen's disease patients next to the Kikuchi Keifuen Sanatorium. In spite of protests, the facility was constructed. (Ohtani 107-8)` [Leprosarium] [Japan] |
