Case Disease Jewell Kenya Leper Leprosy Mombasa Treatment 1924
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting image of a man with leprosy in Mombasa, Kenya, East Africa. Taken from Dr NP Jewell's casebook in 1924, this powerful photograph sheds light on the medical challenges faced by individuals afflicted with this debilitating disease during that era. The man's weathered face tells a story of resilience and strength amidst adversity. His eyes reflect both pain and hope as he bravely confronts his condition. Leprosy, often associated with social stigma and isolation, was not only a physical ailment but also an emotional burden for those affected. In the backdrop of early 20th-century Mombasa, we glimpse into the world of medical treatment available at that time. This image serves as a reminder of the advancements made in medicine since then and highlights the importance of empathy towards those suffering from such diseases even today. The On Call in Africa Collection / Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this historical artifact to remind us of our shared humanity across continents. It is through these glimpses into our past that we can appreciate how far we have come while acknowledging the work still needed to eradicate diseases like leprosy worldwide.
