EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the African Hospital in Lagos, Nigeria, circa 1935. The scene on the veranda of the hospital is filled with patients seeking relief and recovery. Some lie in beds, their expressions reflecting a mix of hope and fatigue, while others sit in chairs, engaged in quiet conversation or simply observing their surroundings. Mosquito nets, a vital protection against malaria and other tropical diseases, are visible overhead, providing a sense of security and comfort. The African Hospital, established in 1897, was a pioneering institution in the provision of medical care in West Africa during the colonial era. It was run by the National Hospital Service of the British Colonial Office, which aimed to improve the health and wellbeing of the local population. Nurses and medical staff can be seen in the background, attending to the needs of the patients with compassion and dedication. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the history of healthcare in Africa and the resilience of those who sought treatment during a time when medical resources were limited. It also underscores the importance of access to quality healthcare, a fundamental right that continues to be a priority for individuals and governments around the world.
