Abstract

Public Health Services in Amsterdam The communal service celebrated recently the twenty-fifth anniversary of its establishment. In 1903 the new institution began to function, and the quarter of a century that has since elapsed has witnessed considerable development.

It has not confined itself to this, however; it has devoted itself likewise to the organization of preventive hygiene. Most of the progress of the institution dates from recent years and is due chiefly to the present director, Dr. Heijermans, who inaugurated a system of economic division of hospital beds and introduced a rigid control of admissions, with the result that the facilities of the hospitals have been adjusted to fit the needs of the situation.
