Don't Let This Happen to You!

The object that Dr. Georg Randmae (right) is holding between his forceps is a piece of diseased lung. Where did he get it? We don't know, but the two ex-savages on the left seem completely impressed. This was part of a P-NG Health Dept. exhibit at the Kokopo Agricultural Show, held recently.

Dr. Randmae had just returned from an overseas study of TB control in under-developed countri es under aus pice s of the World Health Organisation. He visited the TB hospitals in Denmark France and Wales, where he studied modern treatment. The second part of his Fellow Ship took Dr. Randmae for several weeks to India, Formosa and Philippines, where he studied tuberculosis control programmes. Although the conditions in Papua and New Guinea are very different from those in the Far East, similar methods of prevention and treatment have been applied there.
