DIFFERENCE PUZZLING
nfant Mortality In U.K., N.Z.
(N.Z. Press Association) DUNEDIN, November 1.
Why Britain has a higher infant mortality rate than New Zealand in the period just before birth and in the first week of life is being investigated by Professor W. I. C. Morris, who holds the chair of obstetrics and gynaecology at the University of Manchester, and who is at present visiting Dunedin. What was puzzling to British medical authorities was that there should be such a big margin of difference among peoples of similar stock, he said. The professor said the answer might lie in pre-natal treatment, but to find it would probably require study by a large team. Professor Morris will be a guest lecturer at the postgraduate course in obstetrics .and gynaecology to be held at the Queen Mary Hospital on November 2 and 3.
