About This Item
Adelaide: R. E. E. Rogers Government Printer, 1913. Wraps. Good .. A paper concerning the outcome of mandatory reporting of tuberculosis in South Australia, which in 1898 was the first jurisdiction in the world to make tuberculosis a disease required by law to be reported to the government. Read before the International Congress on Hygiene and Demography in Washington DC.
Dr. Smith, as early as 1910, stated that because infectious diseases are preventable, that this was sufficient cause for any legislature to require reporting and quarantining of individuals. In this paper Smith notes the practical problems which arose, from the apathy of local health boards to the lack of epidemiological data.
Small 4to, 8 pp. Printed paper wrappers, staple bound. Ex Library copy with blind stamp in top corner , some of which has been chipped away. The corner is missing on all pages but does not affect the text. Trove 4423249, at the National Library, State Library of South Australia and University of Adelaide.
