Old temporary dispensary, Ama Achara, Nigeria, ca. 1921

Black and white photograph showing a view of the temporary dispensary built at the hospital at Ama Achara, southeast Nigeria, by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society. A woman (labelled as "Mary Anderson", possibly a Nigerian nurse) and a girl stand under the wooden entrance arch. A female patient stands in front of the entrance arch in a ragged garment. A caption related to her reads: "Note singlet." The dispensary is a single storey building with a thatched roof. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital.
