TUNG WAH HOSPITAL.
Ordinances No. 1 of 1870 and No. 9 of 1904.
(Tables VII to XIII.)
The New Directors were elected on the 5th December and took over the charge of the hospital on the 19th.
Their names are:-
Lau Chü-pak, Chairman,
Lo Süt-pó,
Chan Shüt-ngám,
Li Sui-kam,
Leung Kin-on,
Pun Wai-sün,
Li Wing-kwong,
Ue Tó-shang,
Tsui Oi-tong,
Sham Pak-ming, Lo Tsung-kui,
Wu Ting-sám, Chan Wan-sau, Tsang Ping-kwan, Chan Hau-hing,
Wu Wan-cho.
The first three directors on the list are in charge of the finances of the hospital.
The new plague wards were completed at a cost of $11,738, and formally opened by His Excellency on the 23rd December. The purchase of the land on which these wards stand cost $54,697, so the total cost to the hospital of the improvement is $66,435. Further accommodation has been provided by the demolition of the old one-storeyed building used as kitchen and its replacement by a two-storeyed building designed to provide also quarters for the accountants and registration clerks. This will permit the accountants' old quarters to be thrown into the office and the clerks' quarters to be used for a waiting room. A contract for carrying out this work has been made for $4,720; the expenditure on it during the year was $4,000.
In 1908 a grant was made by the Government of a site on which to erect a permanent small-pox hospital. Plans were approved and work was about to commence, when it was decided to permit the treatment of small-pox in the Tung Wah Infectious Diseases Hospital which was built in 1902. This hospital is now being thoroughly overhauled. The estimated cost of the repairs is $10,000 and $5,500 have already been spent.
The subscriptions collected to build a new small-pox hospital amounted to $69,000. Mr. Ho Kom-tong subscribed $3,000, and the Japanese community in Hongkong $3,100. Now that the new hospital is not to be built, the subscribers have decided to place their subscriptions in the hands of the directors, and have authorised them, after spending what is necessary on the repairs of the Infectious Diseases Hospital and on general repairs to the old hospital buildings, to devote the balance to the erection of a small-pox hospital on the North side of the harbour.
Alterations have been made in the management of the hospital dispensary. A contract was entered into for the year with a firm of druggists to supply drugs and manage the dispensary, the hospital merely placing an inspector in charge and abolishing the rest of the dispensary staff.
