Hong Kong's vastly swollen population of some 3,000,000 souls, the majority of whom cram themselves into the 12 square miles of the urban areas, challenges the ingenuity and resources of health authorities and welfare organizations. Overcrowding is rife and, not surprisingly, tuberculosis the principal health problem. Although just over two per cent of the adult population have the disease in active form, control measures are now beginning to show results. Improvements are being noted, especially in children under five. This picture shows young TB patients sailing their boats in a miniature pool at the Grantham Hospital, the Colony's largest tuberculosis institution.
