VENEREAL DISEASE.
A joint scheme in which Croydon takes a part, and which consists
of maintenance of clinics at practically all the big London
Hospitals, has continued to run successfully. The Medical Officers
of the joint authorities have met at frequent intervals during the year in
London and discussed points which have arisen in connection with this
scheme. No special features call for mention.
The main Table sub-joined refers to this scheme. The smaller
Table gives details of the work carried out at the Croydon General
Hospital Venereal Diseases Clinic during 1918. At this centre only
women and children have been treated, but it is hoped that before
another twelve months have elapsed this Clinic will include in its
activity male cases of this disease.
During the year a considerable amount of propaganda work has
been carried out in Croydon.
