The degree of Doctor of Medicine was recently conferred on O. J. M. Kranendonk, of the Netherlands New Guinea Medical Service for a thesis on the mass-treatment of yaws in the territory.

Dr. Kranendonk’s thesis was not based only on theory. as you can see from this photograph, taken during the recent anti-yaws campaign in NNG which was made in co-operation with the World Health Organisation. Dr. Kranendonk is currently in Amsterdam doing a specialist course in epidemiology. —a KVR Photo.
