TNT History Archives: Ottoman Health System in The Hejaz (1914)/Part II/FINAL

//Ed. note: Herewith, the remainder of the instructions
issued for Ottoman health services in the Hejaz in 1914.

Prior to World War I the Ottomans and British were
somewhat cooperative with regard to health activities in
the region but that all changed after they became war
opponents.

In 1915 the crewmembers of the German warship Emden 
made their way up through the Hejaz with the help of an 
Ottoman official named Sami Çölgeçen, dodging
British-aided Bedouins all the way.

during their duty hours, they will inform the center sergeant by means
of an activity report.

by the market and neighborhood policemen.  Sick people and dead
bodies will be transported quickly and animal carcasses will be
removed from the streets right away, for burial outside the city. The
center sergeants are to be informed of developments. With regard to
these matters, the slightest fault will call for severe punishment.

properly.  The center sergeant will present a written report about the
situation to the center doctor and to the police chief.

of ill people and bodies on the streets, and for the removal-burial of
