“THE NATIONAL WORK”
“THE most important national work ever undertaken in New Zealand,” was the way Dr. E. B. Gunson described the Plunket system in a lecture last night. He said that if disease was to be prevented, the prevention must be accomplished in childhood. He commented that he could find no reference to the Plunket system in the Year Book for 1927 although it had been responsible to a great extent for the reduction of the infantile mortality rate from 80 per 1,000 to 39 per 1,000.
