| 1961 | Sikonge LeprosariumVisited by Dr ND Fraser in June. Fraser reported that: 'Dr. Runciman [Provincial Medical Officer for Tabora] took me by road to visit the Sikonge Leprosarium where I met and was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Jorgensen, by Dr. (Mrs.) Petersen, Sister Martha Pedersen, and by Dr. and Mrs. Andersen. Dr. Andersen had just arrived to assist Dr. Petersen in the heavy responsibilities she was carrying in both the General Hospital and the leprosarium. The work at Sikonge was well organised in every department, medical work, education and occupational activities, but the need for yet more to be undertaken was appreciated.'

| 1961 | SholapurIn 1961 leprosy incidence was 18.02 per thousand in Sholapur district. The control measures for this disease are administered mainly through the out-patient treatment in all hospitals, dispensaries, primary health centres and special treatment centres. The voluntary organisations also undertake such out-patient treatment. One leprosy hospital was specially opened in the Sholapur city area under the supervision of the civil surgeon. Prior to 1942 such cases were admitted into the general hospital where necessary treatment was given. At present in the district there is one centre at Vairag covering 41 villages. In 1961 the population under the project was 50,616. In 1960, 43,289 persons were examined. The number of cases detected in 1961 stood at 67 whereas 1,226 cases were under treatment.'
