Resumo: On the outskirts of Bissau a leprosarium was created by the colonial authority for the isolation of portuguese Guinea colony patients . Cumura was emerging as a leprosy confinement space. The Catholic church took responsibility in assisting, thus avoiding the expansion of evangelical Protestants in the colony. As there weren't any portuguese missionaries with specific training, the Apostolic Mayor asked the Province of St. Anthony of Venice to send Franciscan missionaries who had been expelled from Tibet by Mao Tsé Tung. Based on the filled research and on the ethnographic research, this article aims at rescuing and providing visibility to the Cumura Leprosy, combining the history, ethnography and photography of this institution currently known as Hospital do Mal de Hansen, a reference in medical assistance in Guinea-Bissau and for other West African countries.

Cumura emergia como espaço de confinamento da lepra. A igreja católica assumia a responsabilidade na assistência, evitando assim a expansão dos protestantes evangélicos na colónia. Não havendo missionários portugueses com formação específica, o Prefeito Apostólico solicitou à Província de Santo António de Veneza o envio de missionários franciscanos, entretanto expulsos do Tibete por Mao Tsé Tung. Partindo da investigação em arquivo e da investigação etnográfica, este artigo pretende resgatar e conferir visibilidade à história da Leprosaria de Cumura, entrecruzando a histórica, a etnografia e a fotografia desta instituição, designada na atualidade como Hospital do Mal de Hansen, uma referência na assistência médica na Guiné-Bissau e para outros países da África Ocidental.Universidade Nova de Lisboa2018-06-24T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.82oai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/82Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; Vol 15 No 1 (2016): 2º Encontro Luso-Brasileiro de História da Medicina Tropical; 89-97Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; v. 15 n. 1 (2016): 2º Encontro Luso-Brasileiro de História da Medicina Tropical; 89-972184-23100303-7762reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttp://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/82https://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.82http://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/82/67Neves Costa, Luís Manuelinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-09-23T15:30:18Zoai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/82Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:03:52.498360Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
