| 1952 | Fauabu Leprosy HospitalC J Austin wrote that in the Solomon Islands "The various Missionary bodies have already done excellent antileprosy work in the Protectorate, and are planning to do more. The best known centre of this work is probably the Melanesian Mission Station at Fauabu on Malaita, which has been established for a number of years. The leprosy station is now being rebuilt on a flat area well above the excellently equipped general hospital. There are at present, during reconstruction, 28 patients in residence, but it is hoped to accommodate 80 patients in due course. The Mission is expecting to station a doctor at Fauabu next year."

| 1952 | Kumi Leprosy CentreBELRA considered Dr Wheate’s ideas for leprosy control work at Kumi. He proposed gradually to transform the existing settlement at Kumi and Ongino, with the addition of essential buildings and European staff, into centres more worthy of the term "Sanatoria" and then, with these Sanatoria as a base, to develop schemes of Rural Leprosy Control in consultation with the Uganda Medical Service and the African local governments concerned.

| 1952 | Itu ColonyThere was at the time of my visit between 2,000 and 3,000 patients in charge of one doctor, who also had responsibility for a general hospital... The whole colony bore the stamp of those indefatigable workers, Dr. and Mrs. A. B. Macdonald. It was, however, very obvious that unless the staffing problems are solved the excellent work of the past years would seriously suffer. The staff at Itu has, since my visit, been strengthened by the recruitment of another nursing sister. The future development of this colony will be followed with great interest, for I believe the colony has a great contribution to make towards the control of leprosy in Nigeria.'

He observed that "The work at Isoba is new and Dr. Seal has a difficult task, particularly as some fo the worse affected areas lie amidst the river creeks, and are ver inaccessible.
