In the 1960s, Lucille Teasdale, one of Canada’s first women surgeons, and her Italian doctor-husband, Piero Corti, began turning a small hospital in Uganda into one of the largest and best medical centres in equatorial Africa.

Today, St. Mary’s Hospital Lacor treats 300 000 people a year as it trains northern Uganda’s next generation of health professionals.

This slideshow is based on an exhibition of work by Milan photographer Mauro Fermariello.

Organized by the Lucille Teasdale & Piero Corti Foundation and Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), it tells the inspiring story of Lacor ― the hospital and beacon of hope created by Lucille Teasdale, Piero Corti, and many dedicated Ugandans.
