The importance of the work of this Clinic cannot be
estimated entirely from the above table, for furthermore,
expectant mothers approach their confinements with much
more confidence, knowing there is nothing abnormal to be
feared, and in the majority of cases, automatically attend the
Child Welfare Clinics subsequent to the birth of the child.
On the other hand the danger of complications at confinements
is considerably lessened and consequently the maternal and
neo-natal mortality figure reduced.
Expectant mothers, whether intending to enter the
Maternity Hospital or otherwise are seen. The Clinic is used
as a training centre in Ante-Natal work, for pupil midwives
