ning and: the development of area
wide studies,.approval to commence
planning to meet the indicated needs
would ‘be soon forthcoming. The im-
portanee of any capital. construc-
tion is that-it must be undertaken
in’ relation. to the. pattern of “popu-
lation’ growth and capable. of mect-
ing maximum demands. for the ma-
jority of people being: served. “The
services. required’ must | be’ studied,
and these in turn ‘will det termine the
size and the location ofthe hospital.
However,. in ‘spite sof” the. immiense
challenge, confronting usin perhaps
the near future we should resolutely
shoulder. ‘the task, “knowing *that’ of

er who has ever lived: it is said.“He:
