Of this number, 233 cases were treated as in-patients and the remaining cases as out-patients. As in previous years, School Surveys were conducted by a specially trained Health Visitor and 25 cases of early tuberculoid leprosy were detected among 48 152 children examined. The prognosis of cases found at School Surveys was good when attgendance at clinic was regular.” [Epidemiology] [South America] |

| 1953 | Oji River'The headquarters of the whole of the Nigeria [Leprosy Control] Service is stationed at Oji River, under the direction of Dr. T. F. Davey. I may say at this point, that this Service is a model of its kind, and the work of Dr. R. H. Bland, who developed the Service up to its present state of efficiency, is worthy of all praise. .... While at Oji River I was able to visit several segregation units. Again I was struck by the relative mildness of the leprosy lesion, and the low incidence of lepromatous cases. It is in this area that Dapsone treatment has been used in the most extensive manner. .... Oji River Settlement has nearly 1,000 patients ... The children's work needs particular mention. Mr. and Mrs. Savory have developed this side of the work to a high degree of efficiency. They have a separate children's home, and do not allow, as is sometimes the custom, children to be farmed out to adults, for they contend that this practice is open to abuse and is detrimental to the full development of the child.'

| 1954 | In March 1954, the Executive Officer for Health, South Pacific Commission, visited American Samoa. The administrative and health authorities expressed their appreciation for the work done by Dr Sloan, whose recommendations had already received attention. Saipele Matagi, Samoan Medical Practitioner, is in charge of the leprosy programme; the proposed leprosarium has been completed and cares for 23 patients, most of them being former patients in Makogai; DDS is intensively but not exclusively used for both outpatients and inpatients; examination of the population is being continued. One point of interest should be noted: there is no fence around the leprosarium; the patients remain in isolation and keep to the regulations voluntarily.
