Abstract
THE fifth annual issue of the “Medical and Sanitary Reports from British Colonies, Protectorates and Dependencies for 1933” (Trop. Diseases Bull., 32, Sup. Nov. 1935. H. Harold Scott. 7s. 6d. net) gives an account of the activities of fifty-five medical services within the British Colonial Empire. Medical departments are making their contribution towards the general economic advancement of native communities by providing medical facilities for preventing and curing disease, and by developing health services and training for natives. The table of vital statistics appended is most useful, but shows the lack of reliable data for many parts of the Colonial Empire.
