| 1957 | UzuakoliAt the Silver Jubilee of Uzuakoli and the work of the Methodist Missionary Society a short history of the settlement was produced. Uzuakoli Leprosy Settlement was founded by the combined enterprise of the methodist Missionary Society and the Local Authorities of Owerri Province, and was opened as the provincial Leprosy Settlement in August, 1932, with Dr J A Kinnear Brown as its first Superintendent. Under his leadership between 1932 and 1936 the Settlement grew into an institution catering for 800 patients, and foundations were laid and traditions established of the highest order. 1936 saw the arrival of the Settlement's present senior specialist, Dr T F Davey ... As this work spread, there was revealed through clinics and surveys an immense amount of leprosy, presenting, often in the acute form, all the medical, social, economic and spiritual problems associated with this disease. The arrival of Dr and Mrs Ross in 1940 brought added impetus to the work. The establishment of the Research Unit by BELRA initiated six happy years of association with Dr J Lowe, years which saw the transformation of leprosy treatment through his studies of DDS. The decline of leprosy which began to show itself here and there about 1946 has continued rapidly. The 16 000 patients in our care in 1948 have fallen to 4 000, and since the settlement was opened, over 13 000 have been discharged symptom free. [Leprosarium] [Nigeria] |

| 1958 | Kondhwa Budruk (Kondova Leper Home)As described by Dr Antia, and extracted from The Indian Leprologists Look Back, Wadala, Bombay: Acworth Leprosy Hospital Society for Research, Rehabilitation and Education in Leprosy, 1990?: 3, which was transcribed from a tape received on July 26, 1988. It was during my stay in Poona [1958?] that I happened to go one evening on a pedal cycle towards the hills and saw the Leprosarium which was still under the Government of Maharashtra. It was an old Scottish Mission Leprosarium which was in a grim state - this was the Kondhwa Leprosy Hospital.There was a barbed wire fence and armed police standing outside; it was really filthy and dirty. ... Shortly after that the Kondhwa Leprosy Hospital was taken over by the Poona District leprosy Committee under Dr Bandorawalla. They certainly cleaned up the place. There was a small circle of buildings built by the missionaries. One little building with lots of glass windows was the Operation Theatre and in the circle were the other small wards. There was only a very rickety wooden table with thin metal legs tied with a piece of string. This was the only furniture in the Operating Theatre suite! It was difficult to start. I could not get any nurse or doctor or anaesthetist to help me, but I picked up courage and took the instruments and gowns and everything else from Poona. For the first two visits I had to go on a bicycle. But afterwards the road was opened and an old Jeep provided to me. [Leprosarium] [India] |
