EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the story of a man afflicted with leprosy in Mombasa, Kenya, during the 1920s. The image is taken from the casebook of Dr. N.P. Jewell, a dedicated medical professional who devoted his career to treating and caring for those affected by this debilitating disease in East Africa. Leprosy, an ancient bacterial infection that primarily affects the skin and the peripheral nerves, had long been a source of fear and stigma. The disease was notoriously difficult to diagnose and treat, and those diagnosed were often shunned by their communities, leading to a cycle of isolation and neglect. Dr. Jewell's work in Mombasa was part of a larger global effort to combat leprosy, which had gained momentum in the early 20th century with the discovery of effective treatments. In this photograph, we see the human face of the disease, as the man's features are etched with the telltale signs of leprosy - the characteristic skin lesions and nerve damage that can lead to disfigurement and disability. Despite the challenges, Dr. Jewell and others like him remained committed to providing compassionate care and treatment to those affected. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of medical humanitarianism and the indomitable spirit of those who have faced great adversity. It also underscores the progress that has been made in the fight against leprosy, which is now curable with modern treatments.
