The Maternity and Child Welfare services continued to operate on a comprehensive
basis under the difficult conditions created by the fresh evacuations and
population movements which followed bomb-damage. It will be observed that the
attendances at the Ante-Natal Clinics increased, and that seven day-nurseries were
in operation.
In presenting this Report, I wish to pay tribute to the evidence it contains of
the encouragement and support given to the staff by the Chairman and members
of the Health and Maternity and Child Welfare Committees, and of the co-operation
and devotion to duty shown both by the permanent and the temporary members of
the staff.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
E. VIRGINIA SAUNDERS-JACOBS,
Acting Medical Officer of Health.
