Sanitary Statistics of Native Colonial Schools and Hospitals

Published in 1863, 'Sanitary Statistics of Native Colonial Schools and Hospitals' by Florence Nightingale examines health conditions in colonial institutions, focusing on the demographic and mortality statistics of native children. Nightingale critiques the inadequate data from the Colonial Office and highlights the high mortality rates due to preventable diseases. This work underscores the need for improved sanitary conditions and educational practices tailored to indigenous populations, making it a significant contribution to public health and colonial studies.
