Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service of the United States: For the Fiscal Year, 1927 Sir: In accordance with the act approved July 1, 1902,I have the honor to submit, for transmission to Congress, the following report of the transactions of the United States Public Health Service for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1927. This is the fifty-sixth annual report of this service, covering the one hundred and twenty-ninth year of its existence. By reason of the extensive commercial relations of the United States with countries throughout the world and their bearing on the public health, special efforts have been made to keep advised of the prevalence of diseases not only in our own country but in foreign countries. Health Conditions in Foreign Countries The development of public health organization, national and international, is now such that it is practicable to keep advised currently of the prevalence of epidemic diseases and the health of populations throughout the world. This is brought about through exchanges of information with State and local health authorities of the United States, diplomatic and consular officers abroad, the Pan American Sanitary Bureau, at Washington, the International Office of Public Hygiene, at Paris, and the Health Section of the League of Nations, at Geneva. In no previous year have there been better facilities for the collection of information regarding contagious and infectious diseases and matters pertaining to the public health. These facilities are not wholly adequate, however, for all countries, nor, indeed, for all States of the Union. The health of the population of those parts of the world for which dependable reports are available was generally better during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1927, than for any previous year for which we have records. While epidemics occurred here and there, and preventable and fatal diseases were prevalent everywhere, to an appalling degree in some countries, the past year has witnessed no disheartening spread of infectious diseases into areas where public health administration is well established. On the contrary, notable progress has been made not only in confining diseases of this type within endemic areas, but in the dissemination of knowledge for their prevention and the mitigation of the effects of other diseases controllable by environment.
