Description
"Interior of Dispensary. Two Native Assistants (Girls)." Portrait of two trained female assistants in white uniforms. Assistants such as these were taught to perform basic medical care, such as bandaging and dressing wounds. During epidemics vaccination work would be undertaken. The Domasi Mission was founded by Rev. Alexander Hetherwick in 1884. The mission was central to medical work in the area, and trained girls in industrial and domestic work.
