Black and white photograph showing four female nurses and a female patient at the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital run by the Methodist Missionary Society in Nigeria. The patient has had a large growth removed (probably from her uterus.) The caption next to the image reads: "4 female nurses & patient who had 12lbs growth removed - ready for discharge 1934." This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara hospital.
