KENNY PARALYSIS TREATMENT
MISS HOWARD PLEASED BY INTRODUCTION (P.A.) WELLINGTON, September 1. The introduction of Sister Kenny’s treatment for poliomyelitis into New Zealand while she was Minister had given her particular gratification, said the Minister of Health (Miss M. B.’ Howard) at the annual conference of the New Zealand Crippled Children Society to-day. Two Kenny women technicians who had been working at the Auckland Hospital had left last week on their return to the United States, said Miss Howard. However, an Australian male technician was still at the Waikato Hospital and it was hoped to make use of him later as a teacher of the Kenny method. All three had met with the greatest assistance from the medical profession, and for that she expressed her gratitude. Dr. Walter Robertson, who had been sent abroad to study the method, was able to give the Kenny treatment with what facilities were at his disposal.
