| 1896 | Pakhoi CMS Leper Asylum"The CMS Leper Asylum was founded by the late Dr E C Horder in 1896. It is divided into two compounds, one for men and one for women, and situated on the western side of the general hospital, about 40 feet away and is separated by a wall of ten feet in height. The principal buildings in the men's compound comprise three large airy dormitories, a chapel, a printing house, a dressing room, and a workshop. There are other small buildings serving as kitchen, bathroom, sickroom, store-room etc. The women's compound has three buildings, two for dormitories and one chapel, besides other smaller outhouses. The two compounds enclose an area of 60,990 sq ft."Source: S Y Sing and P Z Sun, 'The CMS Leper Asylum, Pakhoi, South China' in James L Maxwell, "Ridding China of Leprosy" The China Medical Journal 44 (1930): 778.

| 1896 | Manankavaly"The Faithfulness of the Christian Leper" Two or three miles away from Ambatovory is a large piece of ground granted by the good Queen to the Rev P G Peake, for the purpose of forming a village for those afflicted by that terrible disease, leprosy. Here a number of cottages had been erected, a neat little church built, and hundreds of trees planted for fruit and shade. A few weeks ago the rebels attacked this place, wrecked the church, cut down almost all the trees, and stole the year's store of rice which had been provided for the inmates. Since then a few of the poor people have ventured to return, and to these, three or four days ago, Mr Peake sent a supply of money through a trustworthy man, himself a leper [sic], but formerly, before he was attacked by the disease, an evangelist. His name is David, and he has acted as superintendent and teacher at the leprosy village. But, by some means or other, the rebels, or rather the ruffianism of the neighbourhood got to know of this money being sent out. They seized poor David, stole his money,stripped him of his clothing, and then demanded that he should swear to become one of them - in other words to renounce his Christianity and return to heathenism. But the good man refused utterly to do this; and then the wretches brutally murdered him, cutting off his head and afterwards burning his body.Chronicle of the London Missionary Society for the Year 1893(ed Rev George Cousins, London: London Missionary Society, 1893): 261 [Leprosarium] [Madagascar] |
| 1896 | AmbohipiantranaEn 1896, elle hospitalisait plus se 120 malades, et un nouveau local spécial de 16 lits venait d’être créé. De vastes terrains contigus aux bâtiments avaient été mis en valeur par les lépreux et produisaient les denrées nécessaires a leur alimentation. Depuis la fondation, la direction de l’établissement a toujours été assurée par M le pasteur Rossas. Des soins médicaux y sont donnés par M le docteur Ebbell ; enfin deux dames diaconesses sont chargées des soins aux malades et de l’administration intérieure. Ainsi fonctionnait la léproserie norvégienne d’Antsirabe lorsque le gouvernement de la colonie, voulant combattre méthodiquement le mal dans toute les parties de l’île, décida la création de léproseries officielles. Celle d’Ambohipiantrana possédant des installations toutes créées et parfaitement comprises, le gouvernement entama des pourparlers avec la Mission Norvégienne, en vue de faire de son établissement la léproserie définitive de la région du Vakinankaratra. Ces négociations ont abouti ; elles ont fait l’object d’une convention singée le 15 Août dernier, aux termes de laquelle la Mission Norvégienne s’engage, moyennant une subvention de 40 Frs par an et par malade, à hospitaliser tous les lépreux de la province, soit environ 600.(G S Chapus, Antsirabe, Passé, Présent, Avenir, (Tananarive: Imprimerie Lutherienne, 1951) [Leprosarium] [Madagascar] |

| 1897 | Russia: The special commission appointed by Baron Vrevski, Governor-General of Russian Turkestan, reports that there are one hundred and sixty-eight persons afflicted with leprosy in that province, and in Bokhara four hundred and thirteen. This number is much lower than the reports of recent travellers would lead one to suppose, and appears to indicate that the disease is dying out. The Russian Red Cross Society has decided to erect an isolated central lazaretto for leprous persons in the neighbourhood of Tashkent.
