(a) Jemadar Nur Ahmad is young and keen, and appears to be a
very suitable Sub-Assistant Surgeon for this post- He has
started well and has gained the confidence of the inhabitants-
He has a complaint about his pay, which at present, is his
pay of rank Rs-90/- plus an allowance of Rs.50/-. He points out
that he is no better off than he would be in a Military Hospital
in India, where he would have his pay plus rations, fuel and
light- He is unable to have his family with him in Dibai as two
of his chidren are of school age-
I recommend that his pay and allowance be brought up to a
tofcal of Rs-200/- per month (vide p.116 in file 14/226)»
(b) The Compounder that has been engaged temporarily is an
old man and only partly trained. He is not liable to improve.
It is impossible to secure a local man who could be trained as a
Compounder- A suitable man might be found in Bahrain- If not,
one should be brought up from India.
(c) The dresser is promising well-
(d) The Sub-Assistant Surgeon has been called in to attend
personnel of Imperial Airways and Gray, Mackenzie & Co., Ltd.
I recommend that he be permitted to enter into a contract, for a
monthly honorarium, with these firms for the treatment of their
staff -
