More wards were occupied as stores and equipment became available and by the end of the year only two remained empty.
The typhoon of the 1st of September damaged the building to some extent and this delayed the full occupation of the top floor by two months whilst repairs were being effected.

The following serves as a brief summary of the work carried out at the new Queen Mary Hospital and the old Government Civil Hospital in 1937:--
