REPORT OF THE RAILWAY MEDICAL OFFICER.
Mr. Naider has been stationed at North Face Camp (No. 2 Tunnel) throughout the year. Mr. Chan Tsan Kun was appointed as an extra Assistant Medical Officer on August 13th and has been stationed at Taipo Kau. Mr. Kelly, Sanitary Inspector, has been stationed at North Face Camp (No. 2) Tunnel and has ably carried out the sanitary work at the various camps.
The general health of the Railway Staff shows a distinct improvement during the year, more especially in the camps at Beacon Hill No. 2 Tunnel where there has been a reduction of approximately fifty per cent. of cases of Malarial Fever.
A similar reduction has also taken place in entries for Dysentery and Beri-beri.
The railway work has proceeded without hindrance on account of sickness throughout the year.
The camps at No. 5 Tunnel, Taipo Kan, have been very unhealthy since work began there, but are now showing great improvement.
The Europeans especially suffered badly from Malarial Fever in the summer in spite of the administration of prophylactic doses of quinine.
