| 1939 | "When the war broke out in September, 1939, Dr Muir was about to visit the West Indies and South America, but this tour had to be postponed. At the same time the Colonial Office asked BELRA to find a leprosy expert to take charge of the Chacachacare Leper Settlement of Trinidad, and Dr Muir volunteered to do so, on the understranding that his proposed visits to the other West Indian Islands and British Guiana should be facilitated while he was at the Trinidad Settlement. His reports have been published in the Leprosy Review, and good progress is being made in these islands, with help from the new Colonial Development and Welfare Fund, which has also provided the cost of Dr Muir's inspection tours."

| 1939 | UzuakoliThe Owerri Province Leper Settlement Uzuakoli Annual Report for 1939"The year 1939 has been the most remarkable year in the history of the colony. It has seen the inception of a far reaching scheme of leprosy control work which has more than doubled the patients receiving treatment and has extended the influence of the Colony to a remarkable degree. |
| 1939 | UzuakoliThe First Report on Control Work Undertaken by the Staff of the Provincial Leper Settlement, Uzuakoli for 1939 suggests that the incidence of leprosy in the province is probably the highest in the world. The report then goes on to describe how in October 1938, letters were written to the Councils of 19 clans in the Bende and Okigwi Divisions explaining the scheme. There was an immediate response, 17 councils replied requesting the early commencement of leprosy work in their areas. The survey results indicated an incidence of 33 per 1000. The report stated that "These figures give some idea of the immensity of the problem to be faced. Approximately one sixteenth of the total population of the bende Division has been examined. The areas examined may be considered as representative of the Division and a leprosy incidence of approximately 7,000 must be considered a conservative estimate for this Division alone." On the subject of the Leprosy Clinics, the report continues: "The provision of treatment for lepers is an essential part of any humane scheme of leprosy control. The building of leprosy clinics has continued through 1939, and at the year end eight are in operation. The most striking feature of them all is that they have not cost a single penny. Land in all cases has been given by chiefs, and lepers have themselves built what simple buildings are necessary." The future direction for the colony is "to concentrate more and more on diagnosis, training and research, and with standardised courses for leper nurses and leprosy inspectors, an important start has been made."
