The Tarzan stories were partly influenced by the journeys of Albert Schweitzer, the Swiss missionary who worked with lepers in Africa and who is mentioned in some of the Tarzan stories.
Albert Schweitzer made his first sojourn in Africa, building a hospital near Lambarene, Gabon, French Equatorial Africa.
Tarzan is involved with events in The Jewels of Opar.
I think Tarzan was too busy with problems of his own to be aware of a little hospital being built near his boyhood home across the continent.
Schweitzer talks about the efficacy of the jungle drums, but it is unlikely that they went as far as Kenya!
Schweitzer's hospital on the Ogowe River was just northeast of where Farmer places the Greystoke cabin where Tarzan was born.
Farmer's location is "halfway between Iguela and Sette Cama, approximately 2 degrees south latitude, on the middle point of the coast of the Parc National du Petit Loango of the present-day Gabon Republic" (Farmer, Tarzan Alive, 14).
By the way his full name is Tar-zan Jadhuru. (Edgar Rice Burroughs, his creator)

Today the area would be called either the Congo or the Democratic Republic of the Congo (depending on which side of the Congo river his jungle is on). Tarzan stories are always Africa-based.
