OBSTETRIC CONSULTANT'S CLINIC
As from 20th April, 1938, a Consultants Clinic of Ante-Natal
and Post-Natal cases was held, and in the course of the first eight
months of this service there were 187 attendances. Thirty-two of
these were cases referred by practitioners in the area for the opinion
on some question of Ante-Natal difficulty, while the remaining
155 were Post-Natal cases. While this Post-Natal service is too
young and the numbers too small to reach any definite conclusion,
it can already be stated that the number of injuries sustained by
mothers is negligible and that practically all the conditions dealt
with were of a simple nature and readily remedied. Towards the
end of the year it was obvious that the number attending these
Clinics was rapidly increasing.
