Good Work Among Filipino Women in Philippine Milk Program
The Philippine Women’s club, first of its kind, sought to aid sickly infants by supplying sterilized milk, establishing a small maternity hospital and nurse training. Sparked by Miss Concepcion Felix in 1905, the club grew to hundreds of native members, raised over 2500 dollars, and imported Paris sterilizing equipment. Training and medical supervision followed as the project expanded to care for 50 to 76 children and a model sterilizing department.
