* Before 1988, each new patient attending the clinics was classified under one type of disease and the number of new incidents of all types of diseases added up to the total number of new attendances. Starting from 1988, each new patient would be classified under one or more types of diseases. The total number of incidents of all types of diseases would thus not add up to the total number of new attendances.
