The prison reformatory and the schools of freedom are successful, and there is a great need for a hospital, and there is no escaping the need to build a special building for it. 20 - The Police From the reports received from the Directorates, it is understood that the state of the police is satisfactory in general. The police force has been increased by 300 men, and all its men will soon be recruited locally. Chapter Eight On Public Health Public Health Public health in Sudan was excellent last year. It was not inspected for any disease, nor was it affected by an epidemic, with the exception of a small epidemic with a rash in Al-Zaydab, whose house was immediately quarantined. Among the most pressing needs is the establishment of a small hospital in Khartoum for infectious diseases. Otherwise, the Royal Medical Treatment in Sudan has progressed steadily. A large part of the Lado province was dedicated to the sleeping sickness, and the areas where the "fly" exists were identified. Captain Drew and Captain Thomson did a great deal of this kind of work. The Black Disease Committee (Kala Azar) did excellent work in studying this disease, under the chairmanship of Captain Marshall. 22 - Veterinary Section The most important feature of last year was the great increase in livestock and sheep exports, thanks to the organization of the Veterinary Section. The ratio of revenues to expenses increased, reaching 30.291% last year, compared to 8.744% in 1909. The department's inspectors have been increased by four, which will enable it in the future to deal with diseases other than rinderpest. Rinderpest broke out in the Sennar Directorate, and its severity intensified there. 500 head of its cattle were vaccinated. It is almost certain that the infection came with traders from El-Hishah.
