| Description: | At the turn of the 20th century, the Hong Kong government was rather concerned about beriberi, a major public hygiene problem, but the matter was later put aside. Although the medical community subsequently confirmed that the condition was linked to malnutrition, the Hong Kong government had no intention to intervene in Chinese people's dietary habits and living conditions, and beriberi remained a serious problem. During the 1930s, Hong Kong's population surged as a result of the Japanese invasion of China, and the influx of refugees created a lot of problems for the city. Director of Medical Services, Dr. Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke, who took office in 1938, adopted a proactive approach, introducing the latest research findings on nutritional science applied to communities in Britain while organising a number of promotion activities and searching for economic meal solutions. In the 1940s, the TWGHs designed nutritional menus for patients staying in its hospitals, in line with the government's “nutritional science” promotion initiative. This period of history spanning four decades bear testimony to the everyday lives of Hong Kong people, as well as reflect the political, social, economic and cultural changes behind Britain's administration of Hong Kong. |
