| 1947 | "When the Communists came to power in 1947, they assumed responsibility for a poverty-stricken dismembered country devastated by the ravages of decades of civil war and Japanese occupation, and the resulting social chaos. The medical schools were in disarray, and health services were practically nonexistent except for the favoured few in some big towns. Infantile mortality was 200 per thousand; the life expectancy was 35 years, and the major causes of death were the transmissible and infectious diseases. Malnutrition was widespread, and agricultural production at a low ebb. There may have been as many as 10,000 “Western trained” doctors in the whole country, but these were mainly concentrated in the large towns and engaged in private practice. There were 40 institutions for leprosy sufferers, principally providing custodial care along the then accepted lines; 39 of these were run by “foreigners”, that is Christian Missionaries. A quarterly journal on leprosy was published by the Mission to Lepers, Shanghai Branch – an excellent and very influential publication".
