Black and white lantern slide showing an interior view of a hospital belonging to the Peruvian Inland Mission, probably at their headquarters in Lamas, north eastern Peru. Wooden shelving lines the walls, upon which is placed books and medicines. A small examination couch can be seen, under which lies a chest. A chart has been placed on the wall. Shelving to the front of the image houses food utensils and medicines. The Peruvian Inland Mission was invited to come to Lamas to start a hospital and school in 1930. At the time this image was taken, Miss Megan Jones was in charge of the hospital, later to be joined by Regions Beyond Missionary Union missionary Joan Mittaz. This slide comes from a collection created by the Peruvian Inland Mission, an evangelical mission started in 1930 by Miss Annie G Soper in northeast Peru, which was administered by the evangelical interdenominational mission, Regions Beyond Missionary Union from 1948.
