At the Kowloon Dispensary 5,742 cases were treated—of which 2,910 were new and 2,832 were old cases—amongst the latter have been included 135 vaccinations and 280 physical examinations. The number of prescriptions dispensed has increased from 3,562 in 1913 to 4,868 during last year.
From these figures it can be seen that there has been a substantial increase all round in the work done during the year—1,645 in the number of cases and 1,306 in the number of prescriptions dispensed, and I have no hesitation in saying that the work will increase considerably in every subsequent year.
During 1914, 42 cases were sent to the Government Civil Hospital from the Kowloon Dispensary, 11 of these were suffering from Malaria the remainder being mainly surgical cases, 3 cases were sent to the Victoria Hospital, 1 to the Nethersole Hospital, 10 to Kwong Wa and 1 to the Tung Wa Hospital making a total of 57 which together with the 228 cases from the Police Stations make a grand total of 285 cases that it was found necessary to send from Kowloon and the New Territories to a Hospital.
