Appendix II
Report of the Chief Quarantine Medical Officer on the working of
the Persian Quarantine Service for the year 1926.
Inspection. —The Chief Quarantine Medical Officer visited Mohamme-
rah. Ahwaz and Masjid-i-Suleiman at the request of the Anglo-Persian
Oil Company in January.
Epidemics. —Small pox was endemic throughout the year in the Garmsir
but never reached any serious proportions; and the incidence was consider
ably less than the previous year. The Gulf Ports were free from the occur
rence of plague, cholera, typhus and relapsing fever.
Imposition of Quarantine .—Owing to continued sporadic cases of
plague reported from Karachi quarantine was imposed throughout the
year on passengers therefrom at Bandar Abbas and Jask.
Buildings. —All Quarantine Stations except Mohammerah are gener
ally unsuitable and particularly lack means of isolating and treating cases
of sickness that might occur amongst those quarantined.
The buildings at Lingah have become unserviceable and their re-erection
is roughly estimated to cost krans 15,000.
Disinfectors. —Except at Mohammerah, all require overhaul and re
pair. The British Government have allotted a sum of £800 towards and
undertaken the repair and overhaul of these apparatus.
Transport. —The very unsatisfactory and wasteful state of affairs
existing for the transport of Medical Officers making their inspections of
shipping and for the transport of passengers to the Quarantine Stations
from the ships, as well as the total lack of means of transport of any pos
sible sick has been fully detailed in my No. 144, dated the 13th August 1925,
to the Address of the President of the Sanitary Council. Nothing further
has eventuated.
Code of Procedure. —The code sanctioned by the President of the Sani
tary Council in his No. 3576/974, dated 22nd Mehr 1304 is still working
satisfactorily.
Personnel. —During the absence of Mr. Lincoln from Mohammerah on
leave between May and November his duties were carried out by Mr. Wood-
sell who then relieved Mr. Guzen at Lingeh. Mr. Guzen proceeded to
India on termination of his tour of duty.
Mr. Hynes, Quarantine Medical Officer, Bushire, proceeded on study
leave to the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine and his duties have been
carried out by Mr. Sweeney.
Notification of Disease. —The Health Section of the League of Nations
Epidemiological Bureau at Singapore send a weekly code cable of informa
tion concerning various Indian Ports. In return we send a weekly sum
mary by letter of items of epidemiological and meteorological interest con
cerning the ports of Mohammerah, Bander Abbas and Bushire.
We are also pledged to cable to the Bureau immediate intelligence of
any outbreak of quarantinable disease and to keep them informed of the
progress of the outbreak.
