Black and white photograph showing a patient at the Ama Achara hospital run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society in southeast Nigeria. He sits on a chair with bandages around his legs, arms and head, and cuts on his body are bandaged. A male Nigerian nurse stands next to him and tends one of his bandages. The caption next to this image reads: "Badly wounded case requiring 50 stitches." This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital.
