EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the tender moment between a mother and her child in Mombasa, Kenya, during the 1920s. The child, suffering from the infectious disease yaws, receives treatment from a local woman. Yaws is a bacterial infection that affects the skin, causing painful lesions and disfigurement, and was once common in tropical regions of Africa, South America, and the Caribbean. The photograph, taken in 1923, offers a glimpse into the daily life of people in East Africa during that era. The child's expression conveys a sense of trust and comfort as the woman applies a poultice to his affected area. The use of traditional methods for treating yaws was common in rural areas before the discovery of antibiotics. The image also highlights the importance of community care and the role of women in providing medical assistance to their families. The woman's calm and compassionate demeanor reflects the resilience and strength of African communities in the face of health challenges. Despite the progress made in medical science, yaws remains a neglected tropical disease, with an estimated 90,000 new cases reported each year. The World Health Organization has launched initiatives to eliminate yaws by 2030, focusing on mass drug administration and community engagement. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of access to healthcare and the vital role that community care plays in addressing health challenges, both past and present.
