It should be looked upon in no other way than as part of a routine. The time spent by the clinician in carefully testing a patient's urine is well repayed in so many instances. A diagnosis and a line of treatment may in quite a few cases have to be revised in view of the urine findings. It should always be born in mind that the urine does not reflect only what is happening in the kidneys, but in the whole body suffice it to mention that the presence of glucose in the urine does not necessarily indicate a lesion in the kidneys.

(Report on Health Conditions, 1953). Our neonatal mortality rate, however has not shown a corresponding improvement, the ratio remaining almost static during the 1943 - 1953 period at a rate of 39 - 34 neonatal deaths per 1,000 live births.
