TUNG WA HOSPITAL.
REPORT BY Dr. P. J. KELLY, Visiting Medical Officer.
I took over the duties of Visiting Medical Officer to this institute, from Dr. Fitzwilliams, on 23rd June.
BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT.
The Hospital Buildings have been maintained in a satisfactory state of repair and their general sanitary condition has been well cared for.
Some considerable improvement has been effected in that the old wards have been pulled down and on the site a new two-storied building has been erected consisting of two large and four small wards. This building will accommodate about fifty beds and is well arranged and constructed.
The sphere of this institute has moreover been extended in that a Refuge is being constructed for ailing poor and destitute. This building is capable of affording shelter to about sixty inmates. Both this building and the new wards above referred to are nearing completion and should be ready for occupation in the early part of
next year.
Staff ---Dr. Jew Hawk the Resident Surgeon of the Hospital resigned on the 16th of August, and Dr. To Ying Kwan was appointed in his place on the 16th September.
STATISTICS.
For the major portion of the year this Hospital has had to cope with a demand for admittance frequently in excess of its accommodation.
