http://dbpedia.org/resource/Culion_leper_colony an entity of type: SpatialThing
The Culion Leper Colony is a former leprosarium located on Culion, an island in the Palawan province of the Philippines. It was established by the U.S. government in order to rid leprosy from the Philippine Islands through the only method known at the time: isolating all existing cases and gradually phasing out the disease from the population. In addition to segregating the disease from the rest of the population, the island was later established in order to offer a better opportunity for people afflicted with leprosy to receive adequate care and modern treatments.

庫利昂療養所（英語：Culion Leper Colony）是全世界最大的漢生病聚落，位於菲律賓巴拉望省(Culion Island)，療養所建於1906年。 1898年美國占領菲律賓，當時菲律賓約有3,500-4,000個漢生病病例，為了管理這些患者，於1901年開始計畫興建療養所，並選定庫利昂島為興建地。 1906年3月16日第一位被指派到庫利昂島的神父抵達，5月25日4位擔任醫護工作的修女抵達，同月27日，第一批病患入住庫利昂療養院，共370人，第二批病人於同年7月4日抵達，第一年共有802位病患入住。成立25年後，共有16,138名病患，也使庫利昂療養所成為全世界最大的漢生病聚落。 1942年4月，菲律賓遭受日本攻擊，日本占領菲律賓期間，禁止島上的痲瘋病患離島，病患的食物來源因此斷絕，許多人也因為藥物缺乏而死亡，光在1942年，就有691人死亡。1947年，治療痲瘋病的藥物碸（sulfone）被引進庫利昂。 1987年後，庫利昂島的病患病情受到控制，在世界衛生組織的鼓勵下，有人建議將庫利昂升格為市，1995年，庫利昂選出了第一任市長。

It sometimes seemed as though the mere intuition of the less progressive people grasped more than the scientific wisdom of the Western World. The Common people of the East can often, by mere glance, detect a leper when the American or European physician, after clinical examination, fails to find evidence of the disease. In such cases, bacteriological examinations will often show that the ignorant native is right. Dr. Strong was once riding through the streets of Manila in his carromata when a Filipino sanitary inspector stopped him and informed him the driver was a leper. Dr. Strong was outraged, but the inspector’s diagnosis turned out to be true.
