Milo, Tanzania

Its name originates from Milow, a municipality in east Brandenburg, Germany, the birthplace in honor of its first sponsor Carl Bolle, a businessman.

St Luke's is an Anglican mission hospital run by the Diocese of South West Tanganyika.

It serves a population of about 150,000 and people come from a radius of 40 kilometres (25 mi), sometimes walking for two days to reach the hospital.

Relatives cook all the food required by ‘their’ patient whilst they are in the hospital, themselves staying in a very basic hostel.

Pneumonia, malaria, TB, diarrhoea are commonly treated, but there is also a large incidence of AIDS.
