UNKRA Helps British Voluntary Agency's Work in Korea

Save the Children Fund (SGF) is a British voluntary agency, inaugurated in 1919, which has founded the International Union for Child Welfare and seen it grow to its present size of 59 member societies in 36 countries, financed by citizens of the Commonwealth countries. Its operations in Korea were stimulated when, in 1953, the UN Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA), made available $5,000 to help establish and equip an SCF Health Centre in disease-ridden Pusan. The centre has treated as many as 3,950 cases in a single month, besides providing 870 injections and dressings, SCF has also established two other clinics in Pusan - the Tented City Clinic and the Children's Hospital.
Here, SCF Nurse Pak checks a fever chart in the TB ward of the 20-bed Children's Hospital, which opened in January 1954, and where both bone and pulmonary TB cases are treated. [1954]
