There has been a marked increase in the number of children admitted and a ward of six beds is now set apart as a Children's Ward.
There has been a decrease in the number of cases in the Private Wards but this was due to the increase in the charges from $2.50 to $4.00 a day.
There is improvement in the health of the general staff, and there are now very few cases of Malaria since prophylactic doses of Quinine were instituted and mosquito nets supplied to the nurses.
The deaths in 1931 numbered 27. A large number of these died within twenty-four hours after admission.
Tung Wah Infectious Diseases Hospital.
This is an Infectious Diseases Hospital run in connection with the Tung Wah. Practically all the cases who go there, go because they prefer native methods of treatment. The accommodation is good, with plenty of room, and the wards detached and connected by covered ways.
There are thirty iron beds but as many more could be taken in on bed boards. At present only small-pox cases apply for admission.
Nine cases were admitted there in the year. Four died. One case remained over from 1930.
