They intend returning to South Africa towards the end of thie year, and would like to set up in private practice, on a partnership basis, in Zululand. They have asked us to give thea information on the following points:

(a) A geographically suitable place, i.e. under-doctored, thickly populated, within 100 alias of Durban, and within reasonable distance (say 70 nilas) of a large general hospital catering for both Von-13aropean and European patients.

(b) Transport facilities for conveying cases requiring hospi talleation.

from the information available to us it would appear that suitable hosritals might be the Provincial Hospital or the Mbongolwane Mission Hospital at ^showe, or St. M a r y ’s Hospital at Btfaae^tasa, Melmoth.

You will know far more about thie than w* do, however, and we should be most grateful for your advice.

NATIVE COMMISSIONER: MELMOTH, 1st May, 1951.

The Technical Assistant, The S.A. Institute of Race Relations, , 19, Stiemens Street, Braamfontein, JOHANNESBURG.

Madam,

I am in receipt of your letter of the 27th ultimo in connection with the possibility of two doctors setting up practice.

Most of the country districts have c District Surgeon and in some cases also a private practitioner and there is certainly no scope in this District.

May I suggest that you write to the Chief Native Commissioner, Pietermaritzburg and enquire from him as he has a better " over- all" picture of the requirements'throughout the whole Province.

Yours faithfully,

Miss M. Horrell. P.O. Box 97, JOHANNESBURG.

Dear Miss Horrell, In reply to your letter about two doctors requiring practices in Zululand it is customary to buy practices here as it is elsewhere.

There is a good vacancy at present, at Gingindhlovu, which is just over 80 miles from Durban. It has attached to it the District Surgeoncy, the Leper Institute and a Railway appointment. This -toould bring in an income of about £1,000 per annum plus allowances. There is a good chance of private practice as well. It is up for sale now but of course the buyer would have to be acceptable to Govern ment to secure the appointments. There is a house and surgery , partly equi^ed, included at a sale price of approximately £4,000. The house is not the best but it carries acres of land.

As for other places in Zululand I can’t see any cantre where they could exist let alnne make a living. I hold the Eshowe & Mbongolwane Hospital appointments and have a partner and two assistants. One assistant can only be employed for half a day as there is insuffic ient work. Kwamagwaza/ D r. E. HO LLAND Phone Surgery 23 PO- BOX y Residence 9 ESHOWE ZULULAND D r. T. McHUGH Phone Surgery 23 Residence 75 2 .

Kwamagwaza has its own doctor and^ she and the Melmoth doctor just make living. I have been informed that a doctor recently out from home to the Empangeni area will be leaving owing to lack of work.

There may be openings below the Tugela on the Durban side but I am not familiar with conditions there.

If they are interested in Gingindhlovu the carriage of sale is in the hands of Messrs. Carter & Johnson, Chartered Accountants, P.O. Box 5,’ Eshowe They would have to act at once as I saw the advertisement, in the last Medical Journal, for the appointment. It is the District Surgeoncy of Mtunzini.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Dp . ftalgut,

After receiving your latter of 27th February, 1951, we made enquiries in regard to openings for medical pPactitioners In Zululand. Our first Rni;uiry proved negative, and we subsequently sent letters to a number of officials and medical m* n.

Without waiting for all the replies to arrive, I am t?endiir yon a copy of the first, since it appears thnt If you wish to apply for the vacancy, it would be necessary for you to act at once.

Should we re lve *ny furthef usefiil Information, I will write to you *pnl
