THE TSAN YUK INFANT WELFARE CENTRE & ANTE-NATAL CLINICS.
287. The Infant Welfare Clinic which is held every Friday morning and which is conducted by one or more of the Government Lady Medical Officers is restricted to babies who have been born in the hospital. The number of new cases was 496 and the number of old cases 1,495. The average attendance per clinic was 41.47.
288. The ante-natal clinic has been in existence for more than three years and the number of cases is increasing gradually. The total number of patients who attended the clinic was 170 and the total number of visits paid was 263. The Chinese look upon pregnancy as a normal occurrence and as a rule they come to the clinic only to find out the probable date of delivery. Of the 168 patients who were diagnosed pregnant at the clinic, only 42 appeared again before labour.
