PUBLIC HEALTH.
It is possible now to review the work of the first complete year of the two hospitals. Unfor
tunately Dr. M. M. McDowall, the Lady Medical Officer, left in November for work in Iraq so that a
detailed report on her work cannot be supplied.
The Administration Block is nearing completion and the ground floor is in full use, that is, the
offices, drug store, laboratory and X-Ray room. The machinery of the latter has been assembled
and very satisfactory results have been obtained.
The nursing staff is now complete in both hospitals consisting of 17 full trained Indian male
and female nurses. The system of dressers-in-training and young probationers is working well and
most of them are carrying out consistently good work and are willing to learn. Every six months
they are given a test.
Two new Indian doctors arrived during the year, Dr. S. N. Banerjee, M.B.B.S., from Calcutta
and Dr. M. A. Mohsin, Sub-Assistant Surgeon, from Pabna. The former is a new addition and the
latter came to replace Dr. Lakra whose contract had terminated. There are four Indian doctors now.
Dr. Bhandarkar returned to Muharraq in December 1941, after a year's useful work in Manamah.
Dr. Kidarnath has been specially Relegated to school medical work and the two new doctors are being
trained in the Government Hospital.
Out-patients. The statistics show a substantial rise in out-patients, more especially in the
dispensaries which account for at least half. Eye infections predominate, malaria gave a high figure
and skin affections, venereal disease and amoebic dysentery also predominate.
In-patients. In-patients remain consistent at very nearly 100 a month on the male side,
and are increasing on the women's side. The Isolation Hospital has kept full throughout and, as
can be seen, satisfactory curative results were obtained. The predominating in-patient disease
remained the same, ophthalmia, haemorrhoids and malaria. Deaths were reduced from 4 to 2.4 per
cent and were mostly caused by pneumonia and seen in emergency moribund cases.
Major operations. Haemorrhoids and fistula still give large figures. Eyes in the form of
cataract extraction and iridectomy were also common. Hernia has increased a good deal and Harri
son's intra-abdominal fascia grafting method was tried out successfully in many cases. Two of the
