294. Apart from Government institutions, two important ΠΕ hospital projects were initiated early in 1959. One is the new Lutheran Mission Hospital of 52 beds at Fan Ling; the other is a children's hospital of 24 beds attached to the Christian Children's Fund orphanage at Wu Kwai Sha. The Fan Ling Hospital is being built and equipped by the Hong Kong Jockey Club and will be staffed and maintained by the Lutheran World Federation. The Hospital at Wu Kwai Sha bas been made possible by generous donations given anonymously by friends of the Orphanage in the United States of America.
295. There are 12 hospitals maintained wholly by Government. 10 other hospitals run by voluntary agencies and medical missions receive substantial recurrent subventions from public funds. In addition there are 9 private hospitals and 133 nursing and maternity homes registered under the Nursing and Maternity Homes Registration Ordinance (Chapter 165).
296. Details of these hospitals are at Appendix 7. An analysis of the diseases treated at Government and Government-assisted hospitals is at Appendix 8 and totals of in-patients treated are at Appendix 9. The classification of disease follows the International Standard Classifi. cation using the International List of 150 Causes.
297.
The twelve Government hospitals provide a total of 2,178 beds. the Government-assisted hospitals a total of 3,593 beds, and private hospitals 1,106 beds. In addition, various Government Dispensaries provide a further 124 beds, mainly in the New Territories and practical- ly all for maternity cases. There are 579 maternity beds in private maternity homes and nursing homes. There is therefore in the Colony a total of 7,580 beds for all purposes including the mentally ill and those suffering from infectious diseases. Excluding the 1,765 beds set aside for tuberculosis, the 260 beds for the mentally ill and the 540 beds for the treatment of leprosy, there are 5,015 beds available for general use, including midwifery, For an estimated population of 2,750,000 this gives a ratio of one bed to each 548 of population for all general and maternity purposes and one bed to each 363 of population for all purposes.
298. An analysis of the bed state in the Government and Government-assisted hospitals is given below.
