Karitane Hospital
ESTABLISHMENT IN NAPIER. ADVOCATED BY DR KING The establishment of a Karitane hospital in Napier was advocated by Dr. Truby King at the annual meeting of the Napier branch of the Royal New Zealand Society for the Health of Women and Children yesterday. * “Napier,” said Dr. King, “shonld have a home or hospital on the lines of the Karitane hospitals, of which there are four in New Zealand, two in Australia, and one in London. I am opposed to the establishment of the institution, however, until the branch has sufficient fundg and the hospital is understood; otherwise the work will be crippled. A site has been donated for the purpose, and. in my Opinion, there is no better site in the world. Jt will be left to the Advisory Boar*l to do something but. before anything is done, one side of the section will have to be planted ag a windscreen.” The hospital, said Dr. King, would be an institution where a /mother xvould lie taken in with her baby, and would be given instruction in the practical side of motherhood.
