Lady Willingdon SettlementOn January 30, 1946, Dr T B M Sloan wrote a "Brief Address to Mahatma Gandhji" on behalf of the "750 inmates of the Sanatorium at Chingleput": "Brief Address to Mahatma Gandhiji On behalf of workers and supporters of the British Empire Leprosy Relief Association, - which I hope will one day become the Indian Leprosy Investigation Association, I have the great honour to tender to you very cordial greetings, and to express our deep appreciation of the practical way in which you are seeking to bring about a solution to the terrible problem of leprosy in India, - and in particular by specifing anti-leprosy work as Number 17 in your Constructive Programme for India, and by permitting the new Home for Women and Children in S Arcot to bear the name of Kasturba. In my second sentence I would venture to request you, on behalf of the 750 inmates of the Sanatorium at Chingleput, very kindly to give specific instructions that when your train returns to Madras on Feb 4th, it stop for a few moments, or else proceed at dead-slow speed, while passing the boundary fence of the Sanatorium, two miles short of Chingleput Junction, so that the patients may see you; in emphasising the great satisfaction and happiness this would bring, I feel sure we are speaking to the converted! The following page contains the signature amd Greetings of Mahatma Gandhiji: "my good wishes to all the leper patients" As M Gandhi could not pesonally visit the Sanatorium, - although he has very kindly assured me that his train will stop while passing the Sanatorium boundary fence on Feburary 4th, which will virtually count as a "visit", - he was good enough to receive this morning a deputation of BELRA and other leprosy workers at 11.15 am (today) in Madras, and he expressed his thanks and gave us the assurance of his support and help, recognising that a case of leprosy is also a cause .

Extensive leprosy census carried out for the whole of Brazil by Ernani Agrícola, under the supervision of the National Department of Health (Departamento Nacional de Saúde) of the Ministry of Education and Health (Ministério da Educação e Saúde). The results showed a constant rise in the number of new cases, while the prevalence level showed that the increase of the disease had not been detected, leading to a conclusion that the 'tripé' (triple action of leprosários (where patients with advanced leprosy were kept), dispensários (which had the function of examining those in contact with patients, suspected cases and less advanced cases, and preventórios (where children of parents with leprosy were brought up and educated, away from their parents.)) was an insufficient measure in impeding the propagation of the disease.
