center* called the Ambelokipi Model Health
Organization, unifies the separate health services
already extant in the district, where most of the
larger hospitals and laboratories are located, and
has added others. Its purpose is twofold: to furnish
a model health service,, and to provide a
training ground for students of the School of
Hygiene and health workers in general. It cooperates
with government, hospital, and private
agencies in furnishing service within the district
in the prevention and care of communicable
diseases, instruction in and supervision of sanitation,
school hygiene, prenatal and preschool
care, and dental hygiene. Its work is carried on
in daily clinics and by the visits of its nursing
staff to homes and schools. Funds for the maintenance
of this center are provided jointly by
the city of Athens, the School of Hygiene, and
The Rockefeller Foundation.
In Ankara, Turkey, the Institute and School
of Hygiene occupy a group of buildings toward
the construction and equipment of which the
Foundation has contributed. The school has four
departments: epidemiology and statistics, sa'nitary
engineering, parasitology, and
social hygiene.
