45
Ante-Natal Clinic.
This is held twice weekly, and there were 73 sessions during the course
of the year. Attendances, etc., were:—
Number of prospective mothers 264
(including 42 who made their first attendance in the latter
part of 1934)
Total number of attendances 1,176
Number of consultations 719
Average number of attendances—
(1) Per session 16.1
(2) For consultation 10
(approx.)
An additional Ante-Natal Session was started since 1934 in order to speed
up the work in this direction. The work here, however, is far from perfect,
and will need a great deal of attention and effort in order to bring it up to a
satisfactory standard. When one considers that out of a Birth Rate of 1,458
only 264 mothers attended during the whole year, the service must be regarded
as poor. That is, only 18.1 of the mothers attended an official Ante-Natal
Clinic.
Child Welfare Clinics.
There are five afternoon sessions at Brookfield House, and one morning
session at St. Stephen's Church Hall, Bush Hill Park.

The average attendances were 4.3 and 9.4 respectively above those
obtaining during the previous year.
