EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the dedicated staff of Kisumu Native Hospital in East Africa during the tumultuous year of 1918, amidst the backdrop of the First World War. The image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of a medical institution on the African continent during this period. The staff members, predominantly African men, are seen in their professional attire, exuding a sense of determination and commitment to their patients. Their attire includes white coats and headgear, typical of the medical profession during the early 20th century. Some staff members are seen engaging in conversations, while others are attending to patients or tending to medical equipment. The hospital, established in the late 19th century, was a crucial institution in providing medical care to the local population during a time when diseases such as malaria, smallpox, and typhoid fever were rampant. The outbreak of World War I brought additional challenges, with an influx of wounded soldiers from both the Allied and German forces requiring medical attention. Despite the challenges, the staff at Kisumu Native Hospital continued to provide essential medical services to the community, demonstrating their resilience and dedication. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role played by healthcare workers during times of conflict and the importance of access to quality medical care for all, regardless of race or nationality.
