Chinese Public Dispensaries.
153. There are 9 public dispensaries distributed throughout the urban area of the Mainland and Island. They provide primarily an out-patient service and a maternity service, including in some cases a few maternity beds, but in all cases a domiciliary servine. In addition during the peak periods of anti-epidemic work the dispensaries form centres for propaganda and for vaccina- tion and inoculation campaignz.
154. In January 1949 special clinics for sick children were opened each morning in these dispensaries, and the result has been a very rapid rise in children's attendances from approximately 3,000 in January to 13,000 in March, Table 23 set out below summarises the work done at those dispensaries.
