ABSTRACT
This chapter engages with the strategies and measures in tuberculosis treatment developed at a hospital founded and run by the Basel Mission. It outlines how this development evolved in a rapidly changing socio-political environment, in the frame of a decolonising health care system and in conjunction with the tuberculosis control policies of international organisations. The changing concepts and practices were shaped by varying figurations of interests, values and ideologies within and around the hospital. Based on missionary and government sources, the chapter aims to demonstrate this by concentrating on the actors on the ground and tracing their interaction with and relations to institutions and networks at local, national and international levels. The chapter examines how tuberculosis treatment at Agogo Hospital including surgical interventions and drug therapy was promoted as a contribution not only to the goals of medical mission but also the colonial and national health care system, but eventually failed to connect to the changing national and international policies.
