Quarantine and Sanitation.
Dr. Mohamed Ali Khan Muayed Hikmet held the post of Quarantine Medical
■and Sanitary Officer throughout the year.
He is a plausible official but is inclined to be mixed up in local intrigue.
Some excitement was caused owing to the incidence of small-pox in Karachi
during the Summer and later on the outbreak of cholera there and a few cases
of plague in Bombay.
British Indians resident in Bandar Abbas, in spite of an official protest,
were forcibly inoculated against cholera by the Quarantine Medical Officer who
objected to such inoculations being performed by the Consulate Medical Officer in
the case of British subjects.
Ho epidemics occurred in this district during the year under review.
Town Charitable Dispensary.
Assistant Surgeon J. W. Sweeney, I.M.D., held charge of this institution
which functioned very satisfactorily.
Although the Government of India places the services of a British Medical
Officer gratuitously at the disposal of the Dispensary and allots a fairly liberal
supply of medicines annually, the funds for its maintenance otherwise, are very
low and unless the mercantile community comes forward with subscriptions, the
question of closing down the Dispensary which has afforded medical and surgical
relief in the past to thousands of the poor inhabitants of the town and adjacent
villages and Islands may unfortunately arise in the near future.
The attendance of out-patients was as follows, as compared with the two
preceding years :—
1929
1928
T 1927
6,664
7,620
6,568
Lingah .—The Charitable Dispensary was closed down on the 28th May on the
abolition of the Consular
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
.
Economic Conditions.
Plentiful seasonal rains fell throughout the district, especially at Minab and
the Shamilat, but swarms of locusts destroyed most of the crops, especially the
date crop at Minab.
Earth tremors were not so frequent as in the preceding year. They were
slight and of very sjiort duration.
