In Memory...
"With independence in the Congo in 1960, the Belgian government abandoned a newly-built hospital at Loko. In 1965, exactly one year after Paul Carlson was taken hostage and killed during the Simba Rebellion, Lois Carlson launched a foundation named for her husband.The foundation was able to obtain the deed to the Loko hospital for free from the new Congolese government. Now part of a Congolese-run system of 5 hospitals and 108, Loko hospital still has printed over the entrance: “En Memoire de Docteur Paul Carlson.” "
