Six cases of tropical Typhus were admitted in Lahore District : 4 at
Dagshai and one each at Sanawar and Kasauli.
Typhoid fever.—The wife of a staff-seargent went down with Typhoid
fever in Calcutta. She had never been inoculated with T. A. B. but had
received “ Billi-vaccine immunisation ”. She recovered.
“ Typhoid Carriers ” .—Attention was drawn by the Officer in charge
of the Enteric Laboratory, Kasauli, to the fact that the Ayah at the families
hospital at Jutogh was and had been for some time a proved “ Carrier ”. She
was still employed. Steps were immediately taken to stop this risk. She
consented to operation. The gall bladder was removed successfully and she
returned to duty completely cured.
Finally this dramatic case of auto-transfusion is worth recording. The
wife of an assistant surgeon suffering from a ruptured ectopic was collapsed
from extreme haemorrhage. The blood was baled from the peritoneal cavity
by means of a common tea cup, it was filtered through gauze and returned to
her by means of a transfusion apparatus into a vein.
After an acute reaction she recovered.
During the year the incidence of tuberculosis amongst the Indian civil
population has been receiving consideration from the civil authorities. The
incidence amongst military families is shown in the following Table :—

are treated it is found that the numbers admitted to the I. M. H.
are less................ One feels that one must return thanks
to the self sacrificing work of the wives of British Officers in the
station for the time and energy which they have given to this
work."
The A. D. M. S., Rawalpindi district remarks as follows:—
"I am of the opinion that the welfare work amongst the families of
I. O. Rs. and followers living in unit lines is an important measure
to reduce the sickness in the Army. I hope that the financial
assistance from various funds to welfare institutions will be conti
-nued during the present emergency."
The D. A. D. H. Peshawar District reports as follows:
—
Peshawar.-12 unit centres function very well and great interest is taken
by various voluntary workers.
Hospital admissions are to the Zanana Hospital where the new Strettell
Ward was completed and opened. The old labour ward has been rebuilt and
is now used for the lower classes of followers' wives. The grounds have been
laid out afresh and the staff quarters have been rebuilt. This is now a very
good modern hospital of 30 beds, where very good work is done.
Nearly all annual reports emphasise what a debt the movement and the
families of Indian troops owe to the zeal, energy and financial assistance of
the wives of British Officers. Medical Officers, Assistant and Sub-Assistant
Surgeons also give much help in this sphere.

(b)
Approximate numbers dealt with by Welfare Centres.—The actual num
-bers dealt with at Welfare Centres and Family Hospitals have been steadily
increasing at nearly all stations. But greater accuracy is still needed in the
maintenance of records if the real numbers of cases treated is to be known
rather than attendances. Where staffs are small and the record is kept by
the nurse the tendency is to record attendances, thereby swelling the apparent
amount of work accomplished and enhancing the professional ability of the
nurse. Improvement is being obtained by the maintenance of proper registers
and the entry of cases and attendances in separate columns, the former being
given serial numbers or in some cases, as at Jhelum, being given tickets.
The number of cases seen at the Centres or treated at the Family Hos
-pital is a criterion of the value of the work done in that station, depending
on the popularity and zeal of the administrative personnel, and is n t an
indication that the health of the families is worse in stations which show large
attendances, treatments or variety of disease. In fact the better the families
are cared for the fuller are the records of cases.
The approximate numbers dealt with during the year were:—
Women.
Children.
67,861
99,338

(c) Progress of the work done.—The work of Welfare Centres and family
hospitals has definitely progressed during the year. If funds are adequate
speedy increase is possible; but in practically all stations the work is carried
on under a constant struggle for funds to meet the increasing demands.
The scope of the actual work itself is increasing in that greater numbers
avail themselves of prenatal assistance and require hospital accommodation
for their confinements, greater attention is being given to the education of
mothers in infant feeding and care of the older stages and the treatment of
illness is developing to afford full hospital facilities to cases which need it.
At Jhelum a new families hospital has been opened and welfare centres
flourish. At Quetta an Indian Army Welfare Association has been formed
and arrangements made for all work to be centralised under its control. It
is said that the Gurkha Hospital will be utilised for lying in cases and it is
hoped that the isolation hospital of the B. M. H. may form a new Indian
Families Hospital; this will however require certain alterations costing
Rs. 5,000. With the expected occupation of nearly 600 more family quarters
during 1940 in Quetta extra family hospital accommodation will certainly
be needed and 3 more clinics will be necessary. At Peshawar the completion
and equipment .of the new Strettell Wards has provided the Zenana hospital
with vastly improved accommodation and facilities.
Difficulties are still experienced in obtaining suitable lady sub-assistant
surgeons who will remain in their appointments and no candidates could be
obtained from military welfare centres for a special course held in Delhi for
the training of Health Visitors.
(d) Accommodation.— The majority of Welfare Centres are established in
reappropriated married quarters which with conversions and additions form
very suitable accommodation. Conversions and improvements in amenities
are carried out by private funds and in a majority of cases give most excellent
results. The greatest lack is that of artificial light and of piped water supply.
As regards the latter it is a serious hardship and considered by many subscrib
-ers entirely unfair that welfare funds or family hospital funds should be ex
- p e n d e d o n w a t e r c h a r g e s f o r I n d i a n t r o o p s f a m i l i e s w h o a r e a l r e a d y e n t i t l e d
to free water.
The accommodation of Indian family hospitals is often excellent for the
purpose such as at Peshawar, Kohat, Chaklala, Jhelum, Sialkot, Agra, Roorkee,
Bangalore and Jhansi. There is a constant demand for more beds.
Family hospital accommodation is not provided where a Cantonment
General or Civil Hospital offer sufficient facilities.
In addition to hospitals and centres special facilities such as hot baths,
playgrounds and purdah gardens are being made available for Indian troops
families.
In all there are now 84 Welfare Centres established: Northern Command
35, Eastern Command 26, Southern Command 18, and Western Ind.
District 5.
(e) Staffs .—During the year 18 lady sub-assistant surgeons and one male
S. A. S. were employed. Twelve of these are paid from Government funds
and the remainder from the Indian Expeditionary Force Canteen Profits Fund.
Suitable lady doctors of the class required who will stay in their jobs are diffi
-cult to obtain and some of them require to he handled with considerable tact.
This need is however not entirely one-sided, because similar differences
of opinion arise amongst those who control the activities of welfare centres
and family hospitals. The officers and ladies of wealthy units which have
had welfare centres going as flourishing concerns for some years are sometimes
very loathe to combine in a station welfare movement or to share a troops
family hospital with units not so fortunate. S. E. M. Os. and medical officers
have no easy job at times to obtain the willing co-operation of all who consider
that they should have a say in the control of affairs.
Unified control on a station basis is essential if Welfare work is to play
its full part in the improvement of the health of Indian families.
In addition to the doctor family hospitals have one, two or even three
trained nurses, trained dais and sweeper staff. In welfare centres the staff
usually consist of a trained nurse, either resident or visiting, a trained dai
and a female sweeper under the direct supervision of the Regimental Medical
Officer who works in conjunction with one or more senior ladies of the unit.
(f) Funds.—A very large proportion of the funds come from subscriptions
of the men themselves aided by generous subscription from officers and their
wives. For example in one typical station with a family hospital and seven
welfare centres subscriptions provided Rs. 6,000 and donations and grants
from central or charitable sources only Rs. 900. The greatest strain however,
is on those responsible for the work in small stations and in the smaller units.
The actual sources of funds are as follows:—
1. Subscriptions from the men, aided by contributions from officers and
their wives or regimental funds in the case of rich units.
2. Payment of the salaries of 12 lady sub-assistant surgeons by Govern
-ment.
3. Payment by lump sum grants amounting to Rs. 55,266 from the
Indian Expeditionary Force Canteen Profits Fund for payment
of 1 male sub-assistant surgeon and 6 lady sub-assistant surgeons;
and for capital outlay on welfare centres, including building,
alterations, repairs, fly-proofing, electric light and fans, laying
on water and provision of furniture, bedding and equipment.
4. A sum of Rs. 10,850 from the Indian Expeditionary Force Canteen
Profits Fund allotted to the Maternity and Child-welfare Bureau,
Indian Red Cross Society.
5. The Maternity and Child-welfare Bureau allots a sum of approxi
- m a t e l y R s . 3 2 , 0 0 0 t o B r i t i s h a n d I n d i a n W e l f a r e C e n t r e s m a d e
up from item 4 and various other sources.
Funds obtained from 3, 4 and 5 are amalgamated and distributed under
the management of a committee of which the Secretary is the Director of the
Indian Maternity and Child Welfare Central Bureau. This distribution
159
is based on the estimated needs and the demands received from all centres
in their Annual Report and Budget Request Forms, Form A. G. 26.
It should be noted that the funds available for distribution can only meet
about two-thirds of the closely scrutinised demands.
(g) Confinement—Improvement is recorded during the year in that
the proportion and numbers of births dealt with at Centres and at family
hospitals have definitely increased. For example at Almora 88 cases were
confined in the lying in wards of 8 beds and no single case was confined in the
lines; at Ambala in the M. A. T. C., with a married strength of 142 officers,
other ranks and followers, 24 successful confinements were conducted in the
Centre; at Lucknow 140 successful confinements in the Centres; at Abbottabad
at large majority of all confinements are in the hospital or centres and at
Roorkee so successful has been the work that the wives of men who have
been transferred actually come back to the family hospital in Roorkee for
confinement.
An experienced lady comments in an Annual Report that "this side of
the work justifies any amount of trouble."
The control of infant feeding has also been receiving particular attention.
(h) Principal diseases. General.—Diagnoses are in many cases somewhat
inaccurate, being based on the knowledge or whim of the Nurse; but with
increasing supervision by qualified medical personnel and the maintenance of
proper records diagnoses and records are improving in accuracy, the former
being based on proper laboratory or clinical side room examinations.
The tabulated list of principal diseases is given below at the end of this
paragraph.
Malaria.—Diagnosis of this has been improved by extended use of labo
-ratory or clinical side room examinations. Where possible malarial treat
- m e n t h a s b e e n d e l a y e d p e n d i n g p r o p e r d i a g n o s i s o r w i t h h e l d u n l e s s c l i n i c a l
evidence is conclusive. Laboratory diagnosis is specifically mentioned in 12
main stations. The proportion of malarial cases is large but decreases are
noted in the extreme north, Abbottabad and Peshawar District. High malarial
admissions are recorded from stations in the U. P., Eastern India, Bombay
and the Deccan.
In several stations full courses of Atebrin and Plasmoquine are given in
lieu of quinine.
Spleen counts were systematically carried out in a number of stations,
in some cases once, in others twice yearly, and in several stations all new arrivals
are also examined. All cases found with enlarged spleens are treated with
courses of Quinine or in a few instances with Atebrin and Plasmoquine. It
is claimed that this has a very material effect on the health of the troops.
The difference in spleen counts in and out of Cantonments is well illustrated
by those at Jhelum:—
Enlarged spleen—
In Cantonments
8.2 per cent in children under 12 years.
3.8 per cent in children over 12 years.
In villages outside Cantonments
29.1 per cent in children of all ages.
161
Respiratory diseases.—There were no epidemics recorded and as a whole
these diseases were not of importance. Pneumonia took its toll sometimes
combined with intestinal or other infection, and a number of deaths are re
-corded from this.
Infectious diseases.—There were no marked epidemics except that measles,
160 cases, was very prevalent in Shillong throughout the middle of the year.
Mumps was recorded from other Gurkha stations. Cerebrospinal fever was
not in evidence except for 5 cases at Shillong.
Scabies and impetigo were noted as being very prevalent in certain
stations.
