| 1898 | JesushilfeAt the end of the 1893, there were 28 patients in the hospital, and at the end of 1898, there were 40 patients.The journalist Bakushta of the periodical Ha’Tzvi quoted the Turkish press according to which, in the whole of Palestine, there were more than 300 leprosy patients. In Silwan village, there were 15-20 patients; in Nablus, there was a leprosy home containing 10-15 patients. An equal number were in Ramle.The government supplied basic foodstuffs and water, but not medical assistance and the periodical added; "At Silwan the patients live in cramped quarters without division of the sexes." The government permitted begging for alms and this indeed was fairly successful in Jerusalem, each leprosy patient could accumulate a few Francs (sic) daily. However, all this was to no avail because eventually the patients were rejected and isolated and this not due to the law, because there were no governmental edicts regarding leprosy patients. However, the public at large reacted with disgust to the deformaties caused by leprosy.

| 1900 | Until 1900 there were no firm figures for the prevalence of leprosy in Togo, the smallest of the Second German Reich’s colonies; although the official protectorate memoranda suggested a lack of attention, the administration charged the District doctor, Wilhelm Wendland, with initiating a survey on the spread of leprosy while travelling to investigate the smallpox situation in the district of Misahöhe (80 km from the coast). Dr Wendland found that the survey was more than justified - he discovered 100 cases in 24 villages, and estimated a total of 1 000 cases with 1.3 -1.5% morbidity in the district. In Wendland’s view, the disease was introduced from the north by Sudanese traders – and, given the strict isolation practiced by all tribes, could not have originated at the coast. However, he rejected as unfeasible the plan put forward by the Misahöhe District Officer to establish closed leprosy accommodation. His wish was to settle the patients on a little island, where escape would be easily discouraged – even though no such islands, let alone the manpower to ensure isolation “in amicable ways”, were available. The rejection of plans for a large central settlement with forced isolation of 1 000 leprosy patients demonstrated not only a well-developed ability to empathise with the attachment of the people to their homes and relatives, but a strong political realism. As Wendland saw it, patients would escape, would be concealed from the eyes of Europeans and particularly of officials, with far worse consequences. He foresaw the inevitability of fear and mistrust arising from efforts to enforce with harsh laws the isolation of inmates in a large settlement, and their inability to perceive the good intentions behind the isolation; isolation could be achieved only with many police-soldiers, under constant supervision of Europeans… at high costs in the long term. As an alternative, the chiefs of the affected tribes should be urged to isolate the patients systematically, outside the villages, to forbid marriage, or the handling of any foodstuffs, and to entrust the care of patients to their healthy relatives. It was strongly recommended that European officials maintain lists of leprosy cases; the government would employ a doctor who would devote himself exclusively to monitoring, surveying and care of the leprosy cases.
