NEW LEPROSY HOSPITAL
Joint Project In New Guinea The Mission To Lepers’ (N.Z.) will join with the London Missionary Society and the Papuan Administration in building a- new leprosy hospital at Sogeri, near Port Moresby, said the mission's secretary (the Rev. M. Feist) in Auckland. The hospital, which will cost up to £200,000, will cater for tuberculosis cases as well as leprosy patients, and for those who suffer from both diseases. It will replace the well-known colon? on Gemo Island, near Pori Moresby, which was established some years ago by the London Missionary Society and is in the charge of Dr. K. McKenzie of Southland. The Mission To lepers will provide £3OOO of its 1962 anniversary projects fund for a chapel or other religious purposes at the new hospital.
