Report of the Women’s Medical Work
Bahrein, 1923-24
The report of the Women’s Medical Work in
Bahrein for the last four or five years has been
very short: not more than one or two paragraphs,
I believe. This year I am afraid it will be longer.
This is not because more work has been done, or
that the work has increases in significance. It
would take volumes to record the work done by
one lone nurse in Bahrein during the past few
years. But it means that during this past year
there have been more hands to do the work.
