Health News Part of the world-wide radio reception service organised by the Post and Telegraph Department through Auckland, Wellington and Awarua, covers a weekly broadcast from the League of Nations Radio at Geneva. General activities of the League are recounted, but the service is most directly beneficial to the Department of Health, Health news from the rest of the world is broadcast. Reports of infectious diseases from countries in contact with New Zealand make precautions more effective than would otherwise be possible.
