Tay Ninh Countryside Today, health poster 405 (Vietnamese poster distributed in Saigon)
A Vietnamese sheet laid out as a red cross of nine black-and-white photographs of clinics, a maternity ward, dispensary huts and ambulance vehicles in Tay Ninh province. Text lists 80 village health stations, a 108-bed maternity ward and 12 dispensaries, valued at over 5,000,000 piastres. The tell is card-stacking: only completed facilities and their totals appear, with no figures on need, staffing or losses.
