THE TUNG WAH EASTERN HOSPITAL.
40. This Hospital continues to do very good work. It serves the useful purpose of reminding the older foundation—the Tung Wah—what it is possible for a Chinese Hospital to be. Everything is new and clean and it had the advantage of starting fresh in up-to-date buildings.
41. The staff consists of a Chinese Medical Officer paid by Government, Dr. Phoon Seck Weng, and two Junior Medical Officers appointed by the Directors of the Tung Wah.
42. The total number of beds was one hundred and ninety-five.
