The "clean" hospital, leper colony, Nigeria, ca. 1932

Black and white photograph showing the hospital for uninfected patients (the "clean hospital") at the leper colony in Uzuakoli, southeast Nigeria, run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society. Nigerian staff and patients stand outside the back building. A European missionary couple, probably Dr and Mrs Brown who worked at the colony, stand in the doorway to the building. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital, also run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society.
