Culion leper colony : ウィキペディア英語版 | Culion leper colony The Culion Leper Colony was a former leprosarium located on Culion, an island in the Palawan province of the Philippines. It was established by the US government in order to rid leprosy from the Philippine islands through the only method known at the time: isolating all existing cases and gradually phasing out the disease from the population.〔Annual report of the Philippine Commission, 1907, pt. 2〕 In addition to segregating the disease from the rest of the population, the island was later established in order to offer a better opportunity for people afflicted with leprosy to receive adequate care and modern treatments.〔Forbes, William Cameron. The Philippine Islands. 12. Kraus Reprint Co., 1976. 341-342. Print.〕 ==Historical background==
