NURSES TRAINING SCHOOL.
Chinese Hospitals.
24. Nurses are in training at the Tung Wa, Tung Wa Eastern, Kwong Wa and Tsan Yuk Hospitals.
The value of having nurses in training is very considerable and the influence on the general welfare of the hospital is apparent.
These nurses are trained in general nursing and midwifery. The training is carried out by the Matrons of the hospitals, the Resident Medical Officers, and the staff of the Visiting Medical Officer.
They should prove of considerable value to the health of the Colony.
