Abstract
IN his latest report, Dr. S. W. T. Lee, senior medical officer in charge, Zanzibar, shows that the health services for women and children are improving. The women's clinic is attended by 150–200 patients daily, and in four dispensaries in the country the same work is carried on. Routine medical and dental treatment is given to school children, who all suffer, however, from nutritional defects. School feeding in certain places over a period of three months resulted in improved weight, height and health, but the Government is unable to finance the adequate treatment of all school children. The work of ante-natal clinics has steadily increased, and out of nearly 1,300 cases there was only one death which was due to puerperal sepsis.
