CHINESE HOSPITALS.
In the Tung Wah Hospital private wards and second class wards, and wards for thirty-nine Tuberculosis cases, have been opened, as well as new Nurses Quarters with Lecture Room and Dining Hall.
At the Kwong Wah Hospital a new modern building with thirty-two beds was opened on the 30th December by His Excellency the Governor. A new Operating Theatre, complete with every modern appliance, will soon be ready to supplement the present one.
Two new wards, each with room for sixteen patients, which were formally opened in December, 1930, have come into use at the Tung Wah Eastern Hospital: one for Medical cases under Western treatment and the other for Maternity patients.
These three large hospitals, all supported by residents in the Colony, are managed by a single Committee which receives an annual Government grant, and the Senior Chinese Medical Officers are paid by the Government.
