FEMININITY NO HANDICAP
Wellington Medical
Officer
“I have not found the fact that I am a woman a handicap in my job. The important thing is the job itself,” said Dr. Joan Mackay, Wellington Medical Officer of Health. Dr. Mackay has been in Christchurch for the last two days at a conference of medical officers of health. Tours
of the Dominion X-ray and Radium Laboratory and the School for Dental Nurses were included in the programme. “We have all found these visits most interesting,” she said.
Dr. Mackay has held her position in Wellington for the last two years and a half. Before that she was deputy Medical Officer of Health in Auckland for about seven years.
