Description
“Hospital before yaws camp was built.” Landscape view showing the mission hospital buildings and Tumutumu hill rising behind, descriptions of each building are written on the photograph. The hospital built temporary wards, which would be situated in the foreground, to accommodate Yaws patients who were successfully treated with injections of Galyl, a preparation of bismuth sodium tartrate, which provided a revenue stream for the hospital. ❧ This image is from an album chronicling the time that Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) spent at Tumutumu (1919-1921) and some of the early years at Chogoria.
