Histórico
The Jewish Health Organisations consist of a number of committees whose main concern is various aspects of Jewish health. Regular contact was made between these committees and organisations such as the London County Council, Public Health Departments and Jewish and non-Jewish welfare organisations such as OZE (OZE or OSE are the initial letters of three Russian words meaning "Union for preserving the health of the Jewish people in eastern Europe" founded in 1923), Jewish Friendly Societies, the Jewish Board of Guardians, British Council of Social Hygiene and the People's League of Health.
The registered constitution of the JHO provided for every activity relating to the health of Jews and its first activities (before local work) were to organise medical help through OZE for Jewish communities abroad who had suffered during the Second World War. The JHO was affiliated to OZE, attended their conferences and appears to have had funding from Berlin OZE.
During the Second World War consideration was given to amalgamation with the OZE but was rejected at a committee meeting in February 1940.
In 1927 the JHO established a child guidance clinic to deal with school children referred by the LCC medical service. Other children were admitted at the discretion of the clinic. This was the third clinic of its kind to be established in London.
