TSAN YUK MATERNITY HOSPITAL.
(Table XXVI).
42. This Hospital is a part of the organisation financed and managed by the Chinese Public Dispensaries Committee. Its proximity to the University has made it a convenient centre for the training of Medical Students in residence, and an arrangement has been made under which the Committee recognises this fact and welcomes the voluntary assistance of the University Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Dr. R. E. Tottenham) who is in effect in direct or supervising charge of all the patients in the Hospital. The arrangement is to mutual advantage: but it may be that the extra cost to the Committee of medicines and supplies, due to the use of the Institution as a training school, will need consideration in the near future. Dr. S. K. Lam is the Chinese Public Dispensary Doctor in residence.
43. There are sixty beds—forty-seven Maternity and thirteen Gynaecology.
Admissions 1931 1930...... 1,323 1,326 Deliveries. Still-births. Maternal Deaths. 1931 1,248 46 3 1980 1,251 69 244. The clinical work in the outpatient department is carried on by the staff of the Assistant Visiting Medical Officer, Chinese Hospitals and Dispensaries.

WANCHAI MATERNITY HOSPITAL.
46. During 1931 this hospital as the result of the initiative and energy of Messrs. Wong Kwong-tin and Li Jow-san has been remodelled and enlarged. Consequently patients, not being able to enter there went elsewhere and statistics fell off. The reconstructed Hospital was opened towards the end of the year and the extra accommodation and improved equipment will be of great benefit to a crowded neighbourhood. Dr. Ho Ko-tsun is in charge.
47. There are twenty-two beds. Eighty-three cases were admitted in the year and delivered. No deaths occurred during 1931.
