5. LADY MINTO'S INDIAN NURSING ASSOCIATION.
The Lady Minto's Indian Nursing Association was founded in 1892
under the title of the "Up Country Nursing Association" primarily, though
not exclusively, to provide Europeans with the skilled services of the Nurs
-
ing profession.
In those days it was very difficult—often impossible—to secure a nurse
in cases of serious illness. Families living in remote or small districts were
frequently completely isolated and even if transport were available, the
nearest hospital might be so far off that patients ran considerable risk if
they could not be nursed in their own homes.
2. The Punjab and the United Provinces were the first provinces to con
-
sider the possibility of providing nurses for private work but it was not
until 1906 that provision was made on a really adequate basis.
Lady Minto issued an appeal to the public both in India and England
which met with a generous response, with the result that now Minto
Sisters work in seven centres and it is rare for a subscriber to the Associa
-
tion in any part of India to be refused the services of a nurse in case
o f
need.

3. The financial liabilities of the Association are met from five sources:
—
Interest on the Endowment Fund.
Government Grant.
Donations.
Subscriptions.
Fees.
4. It is the practice of the Association to invite people to become annual
subscribers. This carries with it two advantages; priority of claim to the
services of a Sister, and a reduction in the fees paid for those services. The
normal fee for non-subscribers is Rs. 14 per day, while for subscribers it
varies from 6/8/- to Rs. 10 according to income. For maternity cases
an additional fee of Re. 1 a day is charged in the case of subscribers.
5. The control of the Association is in the hands of two Committees
—
one in England and one in India.
The English Committee is responsible for the recruitment of the majority
of the staff, but if it happens that suitably and fully trained women are
obtainable in India, the Central Committee in India has the power to
enlist them on the spot.
In addition to this duty the Indian Committee deals with all matters
of administration, delegating to the Provincial Branches questions of local
significance.
6. Branches have been founded in the Punjab, United Pròvinces,
Bengal, Assam, Rajputana, Burma, Simla and Delhi, while the following
Nursing Homes and Hospitals are staffed by Minto Sisters :—
Walker Hospital
Simla.
Ripon Hospital
Portmore Nursing Home
Hindu Rao Hospital.
Delhi.
Willingdon Nursing Home
Georgina MacRobert Hospital, Cawnpore.
B. B. & C. I. Railway Hospital, Ajmer.
Kashmir Nursing Home, Srinagar.
7. At the end of the year 1937 the Association had in its employment :
—
1 Chief Lady Superintendent.
4 Lady Superintendents.
74 Nursing Sisters.
6. LADY AMPTHILL NURSES' INSTITUTE AND THE SOUTH
INDIAN NURSING ASSOCIATION.
In 1904 the Lady Ampthill Nurses' Institute was established by Her
Excellency Lady Ampthill. From this Institute nurses could be supplied
to all parts of the Presidency where the need for skilled nursing was very
great.
R
•
274
2. In 1920 Her Excellency Lady Willingdon formed a general nursing
Association known as the South Indian Nursing Association. Her scheme
was to establish a system of nursing throughout South India after the
model of Lady Minto Indian Nursing Association; to supply properly train
-
ed private nurses and midwives, at a scale of fees which would just make
the Association self-supporting.
The two Associations were amalgamated in 1920, and since then have
carried out useful work throughout the Madras Presidency.
3. No subsidy is received from the Madras Government but the Lady
Minto Association pay annually a sum of Rs. 5,000, an agreed proportion
of its Government grant.
7. INTERNATIONAL HEALTH DIVISION OF THE ROCKEFELLER
FOUNDATION IN INDIA.
According to its rules the Rockefeller Foundation co-operates only with
official bodies. In the field of public health it co-operates with govern
-
ments in the development of general public health activities and the study
and control of certain diseases.
The International Health Division of the Rockefeller Foundation began
its co-operative work in India in the Madras Presidency in 1920 and in the
beginning confined its activities to the treatment and prevention of hook
-
worm disease. It is generally recognized that hookworm disease is a
suitable point of attack as it is easily treated with effective drugs and as
its prevention automatically prevents all soil borne diseases including other
intestinal parasites, enteric fever, dysentery and cholera. This work
still continues as a routine activity of the public health department but
the assistance rendered in the beginning by the International Health
Division has long since been withdrawn. The Division does not contri
-
bute towards the maintenance of work but towards its inauguration in the
early stages. When the work is established, financial assistance is gradu
-
ally withdrawn.
The present co-operative work of the International Health Division is
carried out in the States of Mysore and Travancore and in the Provinces of
Madras, United Provinces and Delhi. These activities consist of : train
-
ing of medical officers by means of fellowships, special research in malaria,
and assistance to demonstration health unit organizations amongst rural
and semi-rural populations.
2. Fellowships.—It is recognized that the greatest benefits which public
health would receive in India would come from the activities of the perma
-
nent health officers of the country and in order to assist in this work
fellowships are granted to selected officers to study in India and in foreign
countries. Fellowships are limited to one year or less for studies relating
to public health subjects. Candidates are selected from those recommend
-
ed by the Directors of. Public Health Departments and include training in
general public health and in research on public health subjects. At the
end of his studies the fellow is expected to return to his post and undertake
work for which lie had been trained. Fellowships cannot be given to
private individuals.

Anti-Tuberculosis Conferences.—A conference was held in 1934 to
which representatives of Provincial and State Sub-Committees, Sanatoria,
Indian Research Fund Association and All-India Institute of Hygiene were
invited.
9. TRAINED NURSES' ASSOCIATION OF INDIA.
The Trained Nurses' Association of India was formed in the year 1905
and was registered under the Societies' Registration Act in 1917, for the
purpose of—
(a) upholding the dignity and honour of the Nursing Profession;
(b)
promoting a corporate spirit among all nurses for their common
good;
(c)
enabling nurses to take counsel together on matters affecting thei
r
profession;
(d)
providing a medium through which nurses can express themselves
in regard to legislation that affects the profession; and
(e)
publishing and disseminating amongst its members and others up
to date information regarding nursing in all its branches.
The Nursing Journal of India, December 1936, published the followin
g:
Nurses Charter adopted by the Trained Nurses' Association of India:
"(1) Each province should take rapid steps to bring a Nurses' Regis
-
tration Act into force with a view to an ultimate All. India
Registration Act.
(2) That Nurse Registrars should be appointed in the provinces i
n
which a Registration Act is in force. Her duties should
include the inspection of Nurses' Training Schools.
(3) Each province should have a Directress of Nursing. She should
work in conjunction with but not under the Surgeon General
and should have direct access to Government on all nursing
matters.
(4) TO RAISE THE STATUS AND STANDARD OF NURSING.
Nursing should not be classed as 'medical subordinate' but
Provincial Nursing Services should be formed with recognised
senior officers at the head, who should be given gazetted
rank.
(5) The Matron Superintendent should have complete control of the
Nursing Staff with power to recruit candidates, and dismiss
unsuitable ones.
(6) There should be an adequate proportion of trained nursing staf
f
to untrained in all hospitals.
(7) The training of nurses should not be regarded simply as a means
of providing probationers and for ward work.
(8) No hospital should be without adequate Night Nursing Staff in
charge of a fully trained and experienced Sister on duty at
night.
(9) The ratio of nurses to patients should be that laid down by the
International Council of Nurses at Geneva.
279
(10) Suitably furnished Nurses' Quarters should be provided, with
adequate sanitary accommodation, and messing arrangements,
in charge of a Home-Sister or other competent management.
(11) No nurse should be expected to work more than a 60 hour week.
(12) The Sister Tutor system should be encouraged. Every Train
- i n g S c h o o l , w i t h o v e r 1 5 0 b e d s s h o u l d a i m a t e m p l o y i n g a
Sister Tutor and more Preliminary Training Schools should be
founded.
A minimum standard of education should be established for proba
-tioners on entry.
There should be adequate facilities for the theoretical and practical
side of the nurse's training. There should also be adequate
nursing Representation on the Examining Boards.
(13) There should be facilities for recreation when the nurses are
off duty.
(14) It is inadvisable that married women should be allowed to retain
their posts in hospital.
(15) The definition of a trained nurse shall be as stated in the bye-
laws of the Trained Nurses' Association of India.
"A Trained Nurse—A nurse who has certificate of three years'
training from a recognized training school."
The membership of the Association including student nurses numbered
2,462 up to March 1938. The Association publishes the Nursing Journal
of India which is supplied free to members, and contains information on
nursing methods and procedure as well as news of the nursing world.
The following formula was forwarded to provincial Administrative
Medical Officers for working out "Average cost per in-patient per month"
in the case of hospitals and dispensaries included in Appendix I.
"Divide the total expenditure of the hospital of each category for
1937 by the daily average number of in-patients during that
year and then divide the result by twelve.".
It has been found impossible to calculate the average cost according to
the formula given above in all cases; the figures in the column relating to
average cost are, therefore, not comparable.
