Delinotte reports that there were 390 cases of leprosy in 1938. A new leprosarium was to be constructed at Pointe des Carrières, about seven kilometres from Fort-de-France; the old inadequate one will be destroyed. Some patients are segregated at Désirade, which is shared by Martinique and Guadeloupe.

JesushilfeAt the oubreak of World War II, the Hadassah Organization decided to "adopt the Leprosy Hospital" and to help it overcome the difficulties arising from shortages of materials and nurses. Large quantities of bed linen were supplied. Nursing and medical staff, principally opthalmological, were supplied. During all the war years, the functioning of the hospital was not affected and even the German nurses continued as usual.

UzuakoliThe Owerri Province Leper Settlement Uzuakoli Annual Report for 1939 "The year 1939 has been the most remarkable year in the history of the colony. It has seen the inception of a far reaching scheme of leprosy control work which has more than doubled the patients receiving treatment and has extended the influence of the Colony to a remarkable degree. In the Annual Report of the Colony for 1938, a comprehensive scheme for Leprosy Control work was proposed. Its adoption at the beginning of 1939 has affected every phase of the life of the Colony, and has considerably altered the outlook for leprosy work in the Province. The Uzuakoli Colony is no longer a large, isolated unit, but rather, as Dr Muir stated in his report after his visit, it is the hub of a wheel which is radiating in all directions."[Leprosarium][Nigeria]

UzuakoliThe First Report on Control Work Undertaken by the Staff of the Provincial Leper Settlement, Uzuakoli for 1939 suggests that the incidence of leprosy in the province is probably the highest in the world. The report then goes on to describe how in October 1938, letters were written to the Councils of 19 clans in the Bende and Okigwi Divisions explaining the scheme. There was an immediate response, 17 councils replied requesting the early commencement of leprosy work in their areas. The survey results indicated an incidence of 33 per 1000. The report stated that "These figures give some idea of the immensity of the problem to be faced. Approximately one sixteenth of the total population of the bende Division has been examined. The areas examined may be considered as representative of the Division and a leprosy incidence of approximately 7,000 must be considered a conservative estimate for this Division alone." On the subject of the Leprosy Clinics, the report continues: "The provision of treatment for lepers is an essential part of any humane scheme of leprosy control. The building of leprosy clinics has continued through 1939, and at the year end eight are in operation. The most striking feature of them all is that they have not cost a single penny. Land in all cases has been given by chiefs, and lepers have themselves built what simple buildings are necessary." The future direction for the colony is "to concentrate more and more on diagnosis, training and research, and with standardised courses for leper nurses and leprosy inspectors, an important start has been made."[Leprosarium][Nigeria]
