INFECTIOUS DISEASES HOSPITALS.
REPORT BY DR. P. J. KELLY, Medical Officer in Charge.
Previous to my assuming charge of the Kennedy Town Hospital on June 23rd, 1910, Dr. Fitzwilliams was in temporary charge.
Buildings. The Hospital is well equipped and the prevailing sanitary conditions are satisfactory, except for the large number of house flies which are met with here during the summer months. This I attribute to the nearness of the Hospital to the Slaughter-houses.
During the year a nullah, in the vicinity of the Hospital on the West side, has been trained and this has led to some improvement as regards mosquitoes.
Towards the end of the year a beginning was made with the new Wardmasters' and servants' quarters at the back of the Hospital, and the new Medical Officer's Office on the West side.
Nineteen cases were admitted during the year. They were as follows:-
Small-pox, 9 Chicken-pox, 1 Sprained Ankle, 1 Leprosy, 1 Under Observation, for Cholera. 7One case only terminated fatally, it being one of Small-pox.
The Tung Wa Small-pox Branch Hospital.
The buildings are well maintained and the sanitary conditions are satisfactory, except for the large number of house flies in the summer months, owing to its vicinity to the Slaughter-houses.
Three cases of Small-pox were treated in this institution, all Chinese. Of these one case terminated fatally.
As Plague is now treated in the main Tung Wa Hospital the branch hospital is practically given up to Small-pox.
