HEALTH WORK BY C.O.R.S.O.
Help To Indian Villages
The interest of New Zealanders, expressed through C.0.R.5.0., has started a whole new field of village health work in one Indian district, according to a recent letter received by C.0.R.5.0. in Wellington. • “My village migration and the spread of the work in that sphere has taken shape only after you had in a way put it on'my shoulders through this grant,” writes an Indian doctor. He is Dr. M. K. Vaidya, Medical Superintendent of the Karnatak Health Institute Hospitals, Ghataprabba, Belgaum, Mysore, India* Among the many uses found for C.0.R.5.0.’s £lOOO grant, he mentions the purchase of a van to carry institute doctors over a radius of 20 miles, medical supplies, a loudspeaker and gramophone for village health talks and the training of midwives in modern methods in 30 to 40 villages.
