Abstract

The proper title of this paper should be one of the heart-rending sentences within it: «The dwellings and sicknesses of the poor». According to the authors, «a poor child has 40 or 50 times more chance of dying before reaching the age of five than his rich counterpart». Basically two questions are here gone into: the possibility -and this exists- of cheaply and effectively eliminating residual waste matter and the other, though dearer, possibility of achieving an adequate water supply, a possibility that any intelligent policy could always make effective. The paper puts forward as a solution a revolutionary change of heart that would set health programmes to rights rather than wiping out communities.
