The December 1938 progress report from Manilla Baby Health Centre notes 3 new enrolled cases, 26 babies weighed, 1 test meal given, and 3 expectant mothers advised. Attendances total 30 for infants under 2, with a daily average of 15, and a note on bronchitis stressing bed rest and indoor confinement to avoid broncho pneumonia risks.
The Municipal Council decided to immediately inform the Department of Health to start a new diphtheria immunisation drive. Charges will match the last campaign at 4d per child with a family cap of 10s for three or more children, free for unemployed and relief workers. Co operation with Hospital and doctors was approved. Seven cases in two months, one fatal, were noted. Constable Barnett and family are visiting Manilla during holidays.
