37. It will be seen from these figures that if the deaths from toxaemias of pregnancy are subtracted from the total maternal deaths there is a remarkably constant maternal mortality rate, and, in view of the very rapid increase in the demands on the maternity services since 1947, this reflects great credit on those concerned.

18

39. Pneumonia.

The principal cause of death was pneumonia, all forms, which has steadily increased in number over the last five years.

40. Enteritis.

Deaths from this disease have likewise increased over the past few years, but probably both in this disease and with pneumonia the increase is roughly pari passu with the increase ia the number of births.

41. Tuberculosis.

This disease is steadily overtaking Pneumonia as the major killing disease in the Colony.
