“The staff 1942.” Group portrait of the medical staff at Chogoria hospital. Until 1939 the staff had been predominately male with the exception of two maternity nurses. The nursing staff was increased by Miss Jean Clark Wilson; she also introduced training for nurses as the hospital expanded. ❧ 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’
