Post-Natal Clinic.
Work at this Clinic is arranged on much the same lines as at the
Ante-Natal Clinic. A medical examination is made to assess, or re-assess,
general health, and a gynaecological examination to detect any local
disabilities arising from child birth. The main findings can thus be
grouped conveniently into two main categories, though in a number of
instances ailments in both groups were present in the same patient. The
common connection of anaemia with subinvolution of the uterus is referred
to below.
