| 1930 | The children’s hospital at Kumi was reported to be the “most pleasing feature” of the work. Dr Sharp, CMS, had by this time established a voluntary leprosy colony on an island in Lake Bunyonyi, in the south-western Kigezi district, with the help of a government grant Dr. Robert Cochrane, BELRA Medical Secretary, toured Uganda, made a valuable report and arranged for grants, the value of which were acknowledged in the annual Government medical report. He advised surveys on the incidence of leprosy, the provision of leprosy treatment centres, and the appointment of a whole-time leprosy medical officer. Finances for the last could not be supplied by Government (Anti-Leprosy Measures in the Uganda Protectorate, 1824-51) in “Leprosy Incidence and Control in East Africa, 1924-1952 and the Outlook” by Leonard Rogers, Leprosy Review 25.1 (1954): 41-59 [People, Organisation, Epidemiology] [Africa, Uganda] |

| 1930 | Uganda: Cochrane reported that "The leprosy situation in the Ng'ora district had developed to such an extent that it had outstripped the facilities for dealing with the problem efficiently, and there was a grave danger of a breakdown in the organisation. I have suggested that the work should be built up more gradually by concentrating on the infective cases, by propaganda in the schools and among the chiefs and others, and by training native assistants efficiently to manage the outpatient dispensaries." He continues "I have already stated that the main efforts in Ng'ora should be directed towards the development of the leper hospitals. If as a result of a vigorous effort to induce the infective cases to undergo segregation voluntarily, and the concentration of the out-patient centres at more convenient places the situation was found to be no better, then I consider that it would be quite justifiable to ask for the cooperation of the chiefs and permit them to fine those who refused to attend regularly for treatment. The question of compulsory treatment and compusorly segregation are entirely different, the former is enforced for sleeping sickness, and if occasion demanded it, I do not see any valid reason why it should not be allowed in the treatment of leprosy. The whole point at present is, that a system must be built up which will be capable of dealing with the leper at every stage of the disease, and until such a system is developed no useful purpose will be served by discussing the question of compulsory treatment at length.

| 1930 | McKean Leprosy Hospital During the depression years, with financial support from America, Dr McKean and his son, Hugh, who succeeded him as director, encouraged patients to resettle into communities or leprosy villages scattered throughout the north of Thailand. The Center could no longer afford to provide free food and care for the numbers that had sought refuge there, and some patients wanted to return to family life. Trusted patients, often trained in the McKean Bible school, were trained in medical care and were sent out to areas of north Thailand where there were known concentrations of leprosy patients to work in clinics on land bought by McKean. These workers provided treatment, shared their faith, and acted as a liaison with McKean, whose staff visited periodically, enabling transfer of patients to the hospital if necessary. Patients moved out to live around the clinics, which were also becoming churches. With new arrivals, McKean bought more land. Some 25 such villages were formed, ranging from 10 to 120 patients. Social intercourse with other villages occurred warily at first, but gradually increased aided by medical, agricultural and educational development support provided from the Centre. McKean workers helped as advocates, when necessary, in villages to access local services as they came into existence.

In a few cases we are trying the effect of Antileprol and Alepol. Externally nodules and areas of thickened skin are painted with Trichloracetic Acid.
