Schweitzer Hospital, Gabon

Schweitzer Hospital, Gabon
Nobel laureate Albert Schweitzer arrived in 1913 in Lambaréné, French Equatorial Africa (now Gabon), as a medical missionary. Building the hospital shown here, he treated thousands of residents before his death in 1965. His many years of humanitarian assistance made Schweitzer a model of public service for many. Today Gabon makes a national priority of maternal and infant health.
