The most prevalent diseases were, minor septic diseases,
diseases due to malnutrition, malaria, venereal disease, ear and eye
diseases, dysentery, bowel diseases and T.B.
Large numbers of the population suffer from ulcers and
allied skin diseases. The cause is not always easy to know, but such
conditions are closely connected to other diseases due to malnutrition
and venereal diseases. Ear and eye diseases may also be included in
the above group as being due to some lack of vitamins. Thede diseases
may almost be said to be confined to the poor class of the population^.
Malaria has shown a very satisfactory decrease, possibly
due to the people becoming a little more malaria conscious and the Health
Department's taking up of the matter seriously. This year separate figures
of malaria infections as they occurred in Muscat and Muttrah were not
maintained. The population of these two towns are constantly changing
their abode from Mattrah to Muscat, and vice versa. The figure therefore
shows only the place where the patient was resident at the time of illness
not necessarily the place where infection occurred.
Dysentery and Bowel diseases are very difficult to eradicate
as the fly infestation of Muscat and Mutt rah is very great. Tuberculosis,
like venereal disease, is regarded as a very common ailment and no regard
is paid to their evil consequences even by the better class citizens.
The Medical Store Depot at Bombay has been the main source
of supply in the past. During 1947 they supplied about half of what was
asked for. Supplementary indents were not complied with, as the matter of
further supplies has been referred to the New Indian Government, and so far
no decision has been arrived at. If further supplies are not received, a
requisition will have to be made to firms in the United Kingdom.
