404 THE COLONIAL MEDICAL SERVICE.

THE COLONIAL MEDICAL SERVICE.

IN the self-governing dominions, Canada, Australia, NewZealand, the Union of South Africa, and Newfoundland,medical appointments are made concerning which informa-tion can be obtained from the High Commissioners or

Agents-General in London; appointments in Egypt andthe Soudan are regulated from the Foreign Office; in Adenand adjacent territories the appointments are under thecontrol of the Government of Bombay; in Rhodesia theappointments are made by the British South AfricaCompany, London Wall Buildings, E.C. ; in North Borneoapplication should be made to the British North Borneo

Company, 37, Threadneedle-street, E.C., for appointments;and those in Sarawak are in the hands of H. H. the Rajah.But in addition to all these there are a large number

of important posts under the patronage of the Secretaryof State for the Colonies. These concern East Africa

(the East Africa, Uganda, Nyasaland, Somaliland, andZanzibar Protectorates); Eastern (Ceylon, the Straits !,Settlements, and Federated Malay States, Hong-Kong,Weihaiwei, Mauritius, and Seychelles); West India ’I,(British Guiana, Jamaica, Trinidad, the Windward Islands,the Leeward Islands, Barbados, British Honduras, and theBahamas) ; Fiji and the Western Pacific, Cyprus, Malta,Gibraltar, St. Helena, Bermuda, and the Falkland Islands ;and West Africa (Nigeria, the Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, Iand the Gambia). As a general rule, each Colony or Pro- Itectorate has its own public service distinct from that ofevery other, and it is usually only the higher officers who are ’,transferred by the Secretary of State from one Colony to another ; but there are two exceptions to this rule. The ’,West African Medical Staff, which serves Nigeria, the GoldCoast, Sierra Leone, and the Gambia, form one service, andin practice the medical services of the Straits Settlementsand the Federated Malay States may be regarded as one, asthe officers may be and frequently are transferred from theColony to the States, or vice vers&acirc;. In Ceylon, Mauritius,Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, and Bermuda vacanciesare almost always filled locally by the appointment of

qualified native candidates, or-in the case of some of thehigher posts-by transfer from other Colonies. Appoint-ments in Malta are all filled locally. Vacancies in the Hong-Kong Medical Department are generally filled by transferfrom other Colonies. In most cases the duties of a colonialmedical officer are of a very general character, includingmedical, surgical, and often public health work. It is onlyoccasionally that a specialist is required. All applicantsmust be between the ages of 23 and 35, but in the case ofEast Africa, Uganda, Nyasaland, Somaliland, and Zanzibarpreference will be given to candidates who are over 25 yearsof age, while in the case of Fiji and the Western Pacificpreference will be given to candidates who are under 30.Candidates must be doubly qualified, and the choice willusually fall, other things being equal, on those who haveheld hospital appointments.East African Protectorates.-Medical Officers in the East Africa,

Uganda, Nyasaland, Somaliland, and Zanzibar Protectorates are

appointed on probation in the first inbtance for three years, at the endof which period their appointments are made permanent if theirservice has been satisfactory, but special arrangements are now in forcein Uganda. The salary of a Medical Officer during probation is E400per annum fixed, but as soon as he has been confirmed in the permanentappointment his salary rises by annual increments of B20 to &pound;500 perannum. There are 17 appointments of this nature in the East AfricaProtectorate, 18 in Uganda, 11 in Nyasaland, 5 in Zanzibar, and 3 inSomaliland. In the East Africa Protectorate there are certain specialappointments-viz., Deputy Principal Medical Officer (B600-25-700and E60 duty allowance), Bacteriologist tE600-25-700), AssistantPathologist and Assistant Bacteriologist (.E400), Two Senior MedicalOfficers (.E500-25-600 with &pound;50 duty allowance), Analyst (E400-20-450),Chief Sanitation Officer (B600-25-700 and P60 duty allowance), andThree Medical Officers of Health (one at &pound;500-25-600 with &pound;50 duty allowance, and two at &pound;400-20-500 with Z40 duty allowance). In Uganda there is a Deputy Principal Medical Officer (B500--25-600 andL50 duty allowance), a Bacteriologist (&pound;500 and &pound;50 duty allowance), aSanitary Officer (&pound;500-25-600 and &pound;50 duty allowance), and Two SeniorMedical Officers with the same emoluments. The sa’ary attached tothe appointment of Principal Medical Officer in the East Africa Pro-tectorate and in Uganda is B750 per annum rising to .E8&0 per annumby annual increments of JB25, and B600 per annum rising to R700 perannum by annual increments of &pound;25, in the case of Nyasaland. MedicalOfficers are permitted to take private practice on the understandingthat they give precedence to their official duties. There are also at presentin Uganda certain temporary Medical Officers whose appointments (ata salary of B400 a year) have been created in order to cope with thework in connexion with special measures to control sleeping sickness,venereal disease, and plague. A candidate for the Uganda service willin general be offered one of these temporary appointments in the firstinstance and will be considered for absorption, if he wishes, when an

opportunity occurs, provided that his service is approved. TemporaryMedical Officers are engaged for three years, and free passages areprovided. If a temporary Medical Officpr is subsequently appointed tothe permanent staff of the Protectorate in which he has been employedon a temporary footing his temporary service will ultimately bereckoned fer pension.
