    1934 "In 1934, in collaboration with Dr Maxwell, the writer sent out thirty large-scale maps of the province of Szechwan to as many missionaries living in various parts of the province, mostly on its periphery, asking each to record on the map the cases of leprosy which came to his attention, marking on the map the location of the cases, and if possible,giving some short details of it, particularly regarding origin, residence, etc. At the end of the year we had the maps collected and the informtion correlated. We found that there were some five areas in which the disease is endemic, and from which we since have had cases come to the hospital. Other endemic centres have later come to light since the opening of the leper hospital in Chengtu, under the West China Union University, College of Medicine and Dentistry."

    1934 The Buluba Mission leprosy colony was opened this year in the south-eastern Busoga district, with supervision by the neighbouring Government medical officer. Land was supplied for crops to make the colony largely self-supporting, and “considerable improvement among those who received regular treatment” was noted

    Alepol, (sodium hydnocarpate), was chiefly provided. The Nyenga mission settlement was reserved for the crippled, un-infective nerve cases; a humanitarian work. This annual medical report also records the opinion that “it would appear that the successful control of leprosy resides in the establishment of colonies;“ that is, for advanced infective cases, to diminish the danger to their households and other close contacts (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 [Treatment, Organisation, People, Epidemiology] [Africa, Uganda]
