TUNG WA HOSPITAL
Ordinances No. 1 of 1870, No. 9 of 1904 and No. 10 of 1908 (Man Mo Temple).
(Tables VII to XIV.)
The new directors took office on the 20th December. Their names are:
Chan Kai-ming, Chairman,
Mui Kai-nam,
Tang Chung-chak,
Chau Chi-hing,
Lau Lim-yeung
Wong Ping-sun, Kwok Hi-wun, Tsui Lai-chan,
Li Yik-mui,
Lai Tsau-tam,
Li Wai-tong, Lui Yik-ping, Hui Chik-wa, Cheung Tsap-sam, Leung Shu-tsun.
The first three directors on the list are in charge of the finances of the hospital.
The re-erection of the kitchen-block has been completed at a total cost of $5,868.
The necessary repairs and alterations to the Tung Wa Infectious Diseases Hospital have cost $8,761.
The site for a small-pox hospital at Yaumati has been definitely selected. Plans have been approved, and work is already in hand. The contract price is $9,250, and the building will provide accommodation for 16 patients.
The directors took up a work I have regarded for some time as much needed, the provision of appropriate accommodation for the destitutes placed in charge of the hospital. The Government gave a site adjacent to the hospital premises, and a building to accommodate 100 persons is in course of erection. To meet this extraordinary expenditure, the directors invited subscriptions and obtained $35,800. This will be in excess of requirements and most of the balance will go towards the cost of re-erecting the Ko Fong—two rows of very old one-storeyed buildings which are now to be replaced by wards for 40 patients with the necessary offices. The contract price for these two buildings is $28,800.
