Kenya: Frank Oldrieve reported that at Maseno, in Kenya, some 20 miles from Kisumu, on Lake Victoria, Nyanza, there was a good mission hospital run by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) where leprosy treatment was given to patients who attended the outpatient department. He reported that "This Hospital is doing excellent work …. There is every chance of the work growing to much larger proportions. This is important for us to know as there has been a proposal that a leper village, or settlement, should be built on Government land adjoining the Mission property, the idea being that the CMS Doctors could take charge of the institution." He also reported on his visit to Tumutumu "where the Church of Scotland Mission have a splendid work, with Dr Philp in charge. It is at the base of Mount Kenya and beautifully situated. The Doctor has been doing some leper work on a small scale, but would like to increase it, and indeed, it appears that there is a good deal of need for more to be done in that part of the Kikuyu country. I much hope that Dr Philp will be able to extend his leprosy work, and I trust that the Mission to Lepers will be able to help him if he seeks their aid."

McKean Leprosy Hospital"Our Christian leper people in the Chiengmai Asylum - we are all Christians save one man - have heard - through the October number of Without The Camp of the burning of the Yenping leper village in Fukien, China. These dear people are much moved ... They have asked me, therefore, to pass on to you at once their Christmas offering for the Yenping people. I am enclosing herewith the equivalent of fifty-seven ticals, all but five of which were given out of the loving poverty of these leper Christians." Dr. J. W. McKean, Chiengmai, Siam.

NasserFrank Oldrieve recommended that consideration be given to "whether Dr Trudinger at Melut and Dr Maxwell at Nasser, ought to be asked to undertake more leper work than they are at present doing."

Kenya: In his 1927 "Memorandum on Leprosy Work in Kenya Colony and Protectorate", Frank Oldrieve recommended that the Acting Governor of the Colony be asked to form a Kenya Branch of the British Empire Leprosy Relief Association (BELRA). He suggested that there be a colony near Mombasa, to take the place of the colony at Malindi. He suggested that small huts be used, not large buildings, and as much as possible of ordinary village life be provided for. He also suggested that there be a village at Maseno, near the CMS hospital, and the work at Kakamega be transferred there. He also suggested that the latest treatment be available at all the hospitals, that special attention be given to healthy children, and educational campaigns be undertaken.[Organisation, People, Treatment][Africa, Kenya]

Ng'oraFrank Oldrieve reported that the Church Missionary Society (CMS) was already doing leprosy work at Ng'ora, and this was being extended with aid from BELRA "under the direction of Dr Wiggins, who has just reached Uganda. Drs Hunter and Leakey are carrying on general medical work at Ng'ora so this station will have three medical men and at least two nurses. Everything should be done to ensure that this station is well supplied with all that it needs, as it is likely to become the main treatment centre for the whole of the Eastern Province of Uganda. The CMS are also working in the Southern part of the Western Province and possibly this work might be developed."

China - the distribution of leprosy was apparently regional, being low in the dry northern provinces, but high in the more humid climes of central and southern China. Yunnan, Kwangtung, Kwangsi, Fukien, Shantung, and northern Kansu were all noted as areas of high prevalence. By contrast, prevalence was claimed to be low in most of Kansu and in Chekiang.
