| 1907 | Lazaretto, Black RockIn 1907, the leprosy asylum took its present shape (It is currently the Barbados Archives). At this time, it was recommended that just over three acres at Prospect Plantation should be purchased for the hospital. On this site would be erected buildings to house 96 male patients; ten paying male patients, and three lunatic patients [presumably with leprosy], with three prison cells. New quarters were constructed for the superintendent, as well as a chapel and incinerator. Eventually, a lime quarry and a kiln were purchased. All cost £12,000. Lady Carter opened the new hospital on 13 April 1910. (Cited from notes provided by Gerald F.

| 1907 | Bagida ColonyThe first report in April 1907 enumerates the few patients who presented themselves or were "ordered" there by the district officer: a total of 20 with leprosy and 13 were considered to be suspects. Twelve ran away in the night, three returned. Of the sick, one died. Many of those capable of work ran away soon, so that four remained, to work on the land. After much persuasion and in the expectation of gifts, they planted maize and ground nuts. (Translated and summarised from Wolfgang U Eckart.

| 1908 | Sudan: "In Kordofan, isolated cases are spread throughout the breadth of the Province, but it is not until one reaches the south Jebel district that it assumes alarming proportions. Thus, in the neighbourhood of Eliri, amongst the Muwalad Nubos who inhabit the scattered villages at the foot of the hill, the disease is rampant; in some villages as many as ten percent being afflicted, without distinction of age or sex. Again, the Nuba inhabitants of the Kadugli and Murta hills are seriously affected, and those of Dilling to a lesser degree. …. All precautions are taken in leprous districts to isolate infected persons as much as possible, and to prevent their entering public places, or trading in articles of food, clothing, etc. It is, however, quite impossible to deal adequately with the matter without a thoroughly organised system of complete isolation, a question at present under consideration. There is no known treatment which influences the course of this disease; cleanliness alone must be aimed at."Report on Kordofan Province, Edited by El Kaimakam Watkiss Lloyd, Governor, Kordofan Province.

| 1908 | McKean Leprosy Hospital Dr James McKean founded the Chiangmai Leper Asylum in 1908. It was the first leprosy center in Thailand, at a time when leprosy sufferers were usually rejected from home and community. Many had wandered until they came to beg in Chiangmai town in order to live, and found shelter and some community together living under the bridge. They went regularly to the mission clinic where they received compassion, food and wound care. Although there was no effective treatment for the disease, Dr. McKean asked the local ruler for land downriver to set up a leprosy centre where those rejected by society were given somewhere to live, and die, with dignity and love. Hostels, small cottages in village groupings, a clinic, a water tower and a church were built. Orderliness and benevolence were keynotes of the centre and the example and teaching of the missionaries led many patients into a vital Christian life of faith. Patients started as recipients but gradually became participants in activities of the center. In keeping with the strict moral views of those days, the women were housed in a separate "village" at the northern end of the property, and the men were at the other end of the property in the men’s village. Both villages were in a community with provisions for basic necessities, plus spiritual and medical help. Hospital wards, a school and more cottages were built gradually over the next 20 years to house the stream of patients making their way to McKean from all parts of Thailand, and even from neighbouring countries. Responsible patients were put into teams (to take of maintenance and as guards and nurses) to help run the center.
