Voluntary Work.
It would be convenient at this point in the Report to
pay a tribute of commendation to the valuable services the
voluntary workers continue to render at all the Centres and
Clinics. Without their assistance the social aspect of the
work would press heavily on the permanent professional
staff, and it is only with the help of the voluntary workers
that the work of the Centres can be carried out in its entirety.
No less than sixty-two ladies engage in this work
either at the Welfare Centres or the School Clinic.

This growth of Ante-Natal practice is indicative of the
needs of the day. The women who attend include those
who come independently without having made arrangements
for midwife, doctor or hospital. Others are referred
by midwives and health visitors, and are kept under observation
until adequate arrangements have been made for
their confinements, or the defective physical and environmental
conditions have been remedied.
