Post-Natal Centre.
On November 26, a Post-natal Clinic was opened at the Town
Hall. Three patients attended the first session. Leaflets have
been written which are given to the ante-natal patients, giving
them information about this clinic and the purpose for which it is
intended.
Dental Clinic.
The dental clinic is open to children under school age and to
expectant and nursing mothers, the patients being referred either
from the infant welfare or from the ante-natal centres. Two
sessions are held each month.
