MATERNAL WELFARE
DR. GORDON’S POST APPOINTED DIRECTOR (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Jan. 30. The appointment of Dr. Doris Gordon, of Stratford, as Director of Maternal and Infant Welfare in the Department of Health is announced by the Minister of Health, Mr. A. H. Nordmeyer. Dr. Gordon will take up her position in a few months’ time. The post of Director of Maternal Welfare was formerly held by Dr. T. L. Paget until his retirement early in 1944. Owing to war conditions, the position has since remained vacant. The Minister said Dr. Gordon's appointment was taking place at a very opportune time. Great improvements had been made during recent years in infant and maternal welfare in a number of countries, particularly parts of the United States and Britain. The Government would look forward to receiving in due course Dr. Gordon’s recommendations for still further improving New Zealand’s position. Dr. Gordon is one of the most widely known obstetric specialists in New Zealand.
