Nosy Komba

French settler-colonial efforts on Nosy Be were persistently hampered by outbreaks of diseases such as malaria, cholera, and smallpox. To remedy this, a convalescence for French settlers was built on the adjacent Nosy Komba in 1841, immediately following the French annexation of the region, with an upgraded facility constructed in 1876. The location of the retreat on Nosy Komba's highlands was motivated by 19th century beliefs in the healing effects of high-altitude environments, alongside the existence of ample colonial labor to support the European settlers. Native laborers were used to carry European patients up to the mountain from the lowlands.
