STUDY OF CHILD CARE
THREE JAPANESE VISIT NEW ZEALAND (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 22. The first Japanese to come to New Zealand for study under World Health Organisation fellowships arrived in Wellington by air today. They are Miss Nobu Sasaki, a nurse, who will study the care of premature and sick babies at St, Helens Hospital; Dr. Fumio Saito, an expert in children's diseases, who will study the weaning of infants; and Dr. Akiyo Mizoguchi, of the Japanese Red Cross Maternity Hospital, Tokyo, who will pay special attention to obstetrics and the care of premature infants. Dr. Saito and Dr. Mizoguchi both said today that they were particularly anxious to study New Zealand methods of infant care, as the Dominion had the lowest infantile mortality rate in the world. In Japan, infant deaths last year were 49.5 a 1000, compared with New Zealand’s rate of 2.75 a 1000 in 1950. Last year’s statistics were the first infant mortality records ever compiled in Japan.
