THE TUNG WAH EASTERN HOSPITAL.
41. This Hospital continues to do very good work. It has served the useful purpose of testifying to 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.
42. The staff consists of a Chinese Senior Medical Officer whose salary is paid by Government, and two Junior Doctors appointed by the Directors.
43. For the greater part of the year the official number of beds was 254. Actually these numbers were augmented by canvas camp beds where the pressure of cases was heavy. With the camp beds the total number which can be accommodated is at least 300.
44. The hospital is now completed and is a model of what a charity hospital should be, viz., all space occupied without wasting and without overcrowding. Each bed in the general ward has 60 square feet of space only, but such is the plan of ward and the arrangement of the beds that they all have ample lighting and ventilation.
