| scb_admin_history |
The Medical Missions Committee, which succeeded the Medical Sub-committee, was tasked with overseeing medical mission work; ascertaining any special needs of specific missions and to develop an 'authorised medical policy'; consider hospital reports, plans and proposals touching upon medical mission work and make recommendations, in conjunction with the Medical Board, to the General Committee; publicise medical mission work and raise funds for them. Further clarification was given in 1913 that this committee's focus was on administration and fund raising whilst the Medical Board's focus was on the professional medical. From 1916 officers from the Women's Auxiliary sat on the committee.
