Description:
This 1975 image depicted the outside of what was one of the smallpox field headquarters. As the eradication efforts evolved, and included more, and more involvement on the part of both public health officials, and the local populous, operations were decentralized, and divided up amongst the Districts' responsibilities. In heavily populated smallpox affected areas, operational responsibilities were further divided, and were organized at the thana, i.e., county, levels. In this image, a young American volunteer, Marty Lutz, was seen leaning against a pillar outside the headquarters, and two Mahendra Jeeps were parked outside as well.
