Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service of the United States, 1941 Sir: In accordance with the act approved July 1, 1902 (U. S. C. title 42, sec. 4), I have the honor to submit for transmission to Congress the seventieth annual report of the United States Public Health Service, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1941. Included for the first time are the reports of St. Elizabeths Hospital and Freedmen´s Hospital which have completed their first year of operation under the jurisdiction of the Public Health Service. The yearly reports of the Public Health Service reflect the state of the Nation´s health and the concurrent advance of science and of governmental responsibility. The specific duties imposed by Congress bring the Service into an increasingly close relationship with the well-being of every citizen. The partnership with the State and Territorial health authorities and the cooperative undertakings with other Federal agencies, professional bodies, and scientific institutions necessitate that the Public Health Service be responsive to the problems, needs, and achievements in the field of public health. Public Health and National Defense This year has subjected health organization in the United States to a crucial test. Problems created by the national emergency have overshadowed all other considerations. They pose the question: Will health services at Federal, State, and local levels meet successfully the shift from peacetime requirements to wartime needs? The pages of this report, present in detail the problems encountered and the ways in which they are being met. During recent years, the Public Health Service has been strengthened; cooperation with State and local health organizations has matured and extended; the foundations have been laid for a health service truly national in scope. Without such a foundation, health organization in the United States would have been ill-prepared to meet the current great needs of military and industrial defense. Every branch of the Service has felt the impetus of the emergency. Research has been shifted to problems of war medicine: Industrial hygiene, aviation physiology, tropical diseases, chemotherapy, and typhus fever present acute problems of defense importance. There has been a need for more nurses. A shortage of doctors impends. Sanitary engineers, laboratory technicians, and other health personnel are insufficient. Military and "Lend-Lease" priorities have created a scarcity of innumerable articles needed in the manufacture of drugs, vitamins, medical and health supplies. There has been an increased demand for vaccines, antitoxins, and serums. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
