NEPAL LEPROSY HOSPITAL
N.Z. Ward Almost Completed The New Zealand ward of the new Mission to Lepers leprosy hospital, near Katmandu. in Nepal, is nearing completion. Already wouldbe patients are coming long distances asking for admission. The mission’s New Zealand secretary <the Rev M. Feist) says that the New Zealand ward in this hosopital is being paid for partly by a New Zealand jubilee year grant and partly by the A. and A. Christie memorial fund, contributed by members of a Napier family of that name. Beds and other equipment are being provided from a gift of £lOO from an anonymous Auckland donor and a gift of £56 from the Woodford House Giris’ College, Havelock North. The hospital, the first of its kind in the area, will be formally opened by King Mahendra IV of Nepal in November, and then the temporary wards (at present crammed with twice the number they were meant to take) can be used for storage or similar purposes.
