L.M.S. Medical Scheme
p. 56 · Read in the full issue
For Papua
THE prospect of big developments in the medical work of the London Mis sionary Society, in co-operation with the Papuan Government, was discussed by the secretary of the L.M.S. (Rev. H. J. E.
Short) at the 1935 Assembly in December.
A scheme is under weigh for a fully equipped hospital for T.B. and leprosy patients in Port Moresby, and a doctor and hospital for service in the western areas of the Territory.
A great deal of medical service is being rendered now, but it is felt that the oldest mission in Papua should attempt greater things to meet the deep health need of the native people.
