The majority of the out-patients during the morning clinics are children for whom Dr. T. Y. Li had previously arranged a special clinic.
Clinical work in the unit has been greatly facilitated by the extension of the laboratory attached to the medical wards. This has only been possible through the kind help of the Hon. Dr. A. R. Wellington, D.M.S. & S., Dr. W. B. A. Moore, D.D.M.S. & s. and Dr. Newton, M.O. i/c G.C.H. to all of whom we are grateful for their co-operation under difficult circumstances.

The Department is responsible for the care of patients in certain wards at the Government Civil Hospital, and also in the Tsan Yuk Hospital, the latter, by kind invitation of the Chairman, and Committee of the Chinese Public Dispensaries. The cases treated include both maternity cases and diseases of women and over 3,000 patients were attended in the Out-patient Department of the Government Civil Hospital.
In the year 1930 there was a total of 1882 cases treated in the maternity wards, 1807 of these patients were delivered. There were go obstetrical operations, and in all only 8 maternal deaths, which gives a percentage mortality rate of about 4%. In the Gynecological wards there was a total of 324 admissions, and 177 operations.

The University Council in granting leave to the Professor after 41⁄2 years service, was good enough to supplement it with three months extra, for the purpose of visiting some of the continental hospitals. Interest was taken in radium, theatre technique, the management of lying-in wards and hospital organisation in general. Hospitals were visited in the following cities-Vienna, Paris, London, Dublin, Copenhagen, Lund (Sweden), Amsterdam, The Hague, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Berlin.
Dr. Pillai has been in entire charge of the Department for the year 1930, he has satisfactorily conducted the responsible duties entailed in the care of patients in both hospitals, and his work has shown that the Department could not have been left in more competent hands.
