From 1951 to 1994, she worked in a leprosy treatment centre in the village of Buluba, near Lake Victoria in Uganda, where, until 1983, she was the physician-in-chief. Initially, a small facility run by the Irish Franciscans, the centre grew into a modern therapeutic and training center with a 100-bed hospital and a children's branch, diagnostic facilities, homes for lepers and the church, now known as Buluba Hospital. In addition to training for physicians, Dr. Błeńska initiated and organized courses for lepers' caregivers (Leprosy Assistants Training Courses). In Buluba, Dr. Błeńska worked with other Polish doctors: Dr. Bohdan Kozłowski, Dr. Wanda Marczak-Malczewska, Dr. Elżbieta Kołakowska, Dr. Henryk Nowak. Her long-term work gave her the nickname "Mother of Lepers".
