For a three weeks' period during the month of June 1948, the University of Illinois, through its Division of Services for Crippled Children, and the U. S. Children's Bureau conducted an institute for professors of medical social work in the approved schools of medical social work. The objectives of this institute were several: one was to give to the teaching group in one of the important professional fields ancillary to medicine an opportunity to review the contributions of its field to the public medical care programs, particularly those in maternal and child health and services for crippled children; another was to aid in the critical recruiting activity which needs to be carried on in order to staff the public health programs adequately with this type of personnel; a third was to stimulate thinking regarding the make-up of the curriculum for medical social students in order to include in the teaching program an adequate orientation and training in the activities of the public health programs. The institute consisted of a group of leaders in the various aspects of maternal and child health and crippled children's programs conducting discussions concerning their individual aspects of the program. A state health officer, Dr. W. L. Treuting of Louisiana, reviewed the total health program. Dr. Herbert R. Kobes, Director of Services for Crippled Children in Illinois, and Dr. Edwin F. Daily of the U. S. Children's Bureau discussed the medical care, particularly the crippled children's, programs as they are found throughout the nation.

Over the years, national and sub-national governments have introduced several initiatives to improve access to maternal and child health services in India. However, financial barriers have posed major constraints. Based upon the data of National Family Health Survey (NFHS) round 4 for Odisha state, our paper examines the out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE) borne by households for accessing maternal and child healthcare services in a low resource setting of India. We have interpreted results of NFHS-4 by drawing inferences from literature for understanding the rising OOPE in the public health system. Findings suggests that OOPE is considerably high for maternal and child health conditions in Odisha and ranks fifth, despite the coverage of 72% women under Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), a condition cash transfer scheme with majority utilizing the public health system. The high OOPE on child delivery raises numerous pertinent questions about the effectiveness of the public health delivery system, and thus requires financial protection in the interest of the population that accesses public health systems in the state.

The American Public Health Association announces that the Martha May Eliot Award Committee is receiving nominations for the 1967 recipient. Former recipients have been Harold Coe Stuart, M.D., and Arthur J. Lesser, M.D. The 1966 recipient has been selected and will be announced in June. The award is a handsome plaque bearing a bas relief of Dr. Eliot and a purse of $1,000, made possible by Ross Laboratories. The nominees must be professional workers from the field of maternal and child health; they need not be members and fellows of APHA. Preferably they should be workers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, but selection is not limited geographically. Preferably, too, nominees should still be active in their fields, and achievements indicating high quality and originality of contributions rather than longevity should be emphasized. Nominations are sought of persons who have made unusual contributions to education, administration or research in the field of maternal and child health. The purpose of the award is to honor unusual achievement in the field of maternal and child health, to bring such achievement to the eyes of related professional people and the public, to stimulate young people in the field to emulate the efforts resulting in such recognition, and to add within the profession and in the eyes of the public to the stature of professional workers in the field of maternal and child health. Nominations should be sent before August 15 to the American Public Health Association, 1790 Broadway, New York 10019. The name of the nominee should be accompanied by a clear succinct statement of the unusual achievement in the field of Maternal and Child Health which the nominator believes is worthy of the Martha May Eliot Award.
