summary
This book tells the fascinating story of the development of medical and
sanitation services in Hong Kong during the first century of British
rule and how changing political values and directions of the colonial
administration and the socio-economic status of the Hong Kong affected
the policies of development in these areas. It also recounts how the
bubonic plague of 1894 changed the government’s laissez-faire attitude
towards sanitation and public health and began sanitary reforms and
developed public health infrastructure.
