The hospital in which he serv- ed, though reasonably well equip- ped, has only 58 beds. A popula- tion of no less than five million people depend upon that in- stitution for health care. The in- cidence of disease, due to poor nutrition and tropical infections, is many times as high as it would be in Canada. The hospital is staffed by two rs.

During the Pakistan war the hos- pital continued to serve the sick and injured from both sides in the conflict, under the constant threat from both that they would not permit treatment of the enemy.
