New hospital ward, Chogoria, Kenya, 1939

“Theatre & male ward. The hospital.” Exterior view of the male ward with the builders standing outside. An expansion in the hospital saw new male and female wards built to replace the original quarters which were converted into children’s and maternity wards. ❧ The image is from the first twenty years of the Chogoria mission in Kenya, which was run by the Rev. Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974), from the collection entitled ‘Chogoria, glimpses into the past’.
