Ink call number on spine, bookplate on front endpaper. 1931 Hard Cover. 191 pp. "The Hopital Albert Schweitzer was established in 1913 by Albert Schweitzer and Helene Bresslau Schweitzer in Lambarene, Gabon. Albert Schweitzer opened a hospital in 1913 in Lambarene in what was then French Equatorial Africa that became Gabon, where he ran it until his death in 1965.[1][2] He won the Nobel Prize in 1952 for his work there.[2] For most of its history, the hospital was operated, staffed, and funded by Europeans.[1][2] Schweitzer worked with "fellowships" in many countries to fund his work (including the US Albert Schweitzer Fellowship, which was founded in 1940)[3] and the fellowships were coordinated by the "Association Internationale de l'oeuvre du docteur Albert Schweitzer de Lambarene" (AISL), which also oversaw the hospital.[4] In 1974 the "Fondation internationale de l'Hopital du docteur Albert Schweizer a Lambarene" (FISL) was established and took over the duties of overseeing the hospital.[5][6] Since its founding, the hospital was rebuilt twice; the second time in 1981.[7] At the time of the 1981 construction, a research facility was included at the request of the Gabon government, which eventually became a separate non-profit organization called "Centre de Recherches Medicale de Lambarene" (CERMEL), but was still governed by the board of the FISL.[7] Schweitzer himself had a paternalistic view of Africans,[1][2] and the staff and management of the hospital remained in European hands until around 2011, when for the first time an African, Antoine Nziengui, was appointed to lead the hospital.[2].…

Fascinating autobiographical account of Albert Schweitzer about his return to Hopital Albert Schweitzer (Hospital Albert Schweitzer) which he had built in 1913 with his wife, Helene, in the forests along the Ogooue River in Lambarene, Gabon, Africa. Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) was an Alsatian-German "Renaissance man" who worked in a variety of disciplines. He was a theologian, physician, humanitarian, philosopher, organist, musicologist, and author. He won the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian work, which included his work at the hospital, and for his philosophy called "Reverence of Life." In the opening pages of this book, Schweitzer writes that he chose to build a hospital because there were no doctors or hospitals in Gabon (formerly part of French Equatorial Africa) at the time. Schweitzer chose to build the hospital where he did because it was at the nexus of the Ogooue's many tributaries, so it was more easily accessible. Schweitzer's account addresses the rebuilding of the hospital after it fell into disrepair following his leave of absence induced by exhaustion and tropical anemia. Schweitzer ran the hospital until his passing in 1965. Hopital Albert Schweitzer is still open to this day.…
