KWONG WA HOSPITAL.
(Tables XIII and XIV.)
52. This hospital again did excellent work during 1915 and the number of patients treated shows a marked increase especially among out-patients.
In all 1,821 patients were admitted (as against 1,699 in 1914) of whom 969 or 53% (as against 426 in 1914, 47% in 1913 and 41% in 1912) came under European treatment while 852 elected to be treated by Chinese methods.
The total number of out-patients treated was 23,449 against 10,135 in 1914 and of these 15,230 elected to receive European treatment. This gives a percentage of 65.9 as against 40% in 1914 and 91% in 1913, showing that the increase of 1914 is well maintained.
53. The total expenditure of the Hospital for the Yut Mau Chinese year was $54,363 but this includes a refund of $31,284 to the Tung Wa—the net expenditure being $23,079 as against $28,213.40 in 1914. Among the receipts appears a loan of $20,183 from the Tung Wa which together with the 1914 overdraft (from Tung Wa) of $9,977 has been repaid as mentioned above. During this year therefore the loss on last year's working has been cleared off.
54. As reported in 1914 the Tung Wa 1915 Committee were faced with great difficulties: under the chairmanship of Mr. Lo Cheung-shiu, they have dealt so successfully with them that for the first time the Kwong Wa Hospital is free from debt, having now a balance of $420. Economies have been effected in many directions; but the principal assistance was received from a theatrical performance promoted by the four hospitals, which resulted in a transference of $12,463 to the Kwong Wa account. Mention of this performance has been made with reference to the Tung Wa Report and the Committee are to be congratulated on the success with which their enterprise was attended.
CHINESE PUBLIC DISPENSARIES AND PLAGUE HOSPITALS.
(Tables XV to XX.)
55. The total number of cases treated at the Dispensaries during the year was 89,243 as compared with 77,207 in 1914. Of this total 56,630 were new and 32,613 return cases.
56. The number of vaccinations performed again shows a decrease, being 5,203 as against 5,493 in 1914.
57. The total expenditure on the Dispensaries was $32,620 as compared with $29,670 in 1914. But this includes exceptional expenses, viz., $518 transferred to the Sham Shui Po Dispensary account and $4,525 part cost of building the Amalgamated Harbour and
