The 145 cases of dengue are not counted in this as by so doing an erroneous idea of the incidence of diseases requiring hospital treatment would be formed. Had it not been for the number of patients and the necessity for segregation it would, for the most part, have been possible to have dealt with the matter in the extern department.
The total number of persons who received treatment in the out-patient department was 1,013 (1,294 in 1915).*
The daily average attendance at the out-patient department was 63.29 (79 in 1915), and in the hospital 11.55 (13 in 1915).
Vaccinations.—2,133 prisoners were vaccinated during the year. Of this number 772 were successful, 614 were unsuccessful, and 747 were not examined owing to early discharge on the expiration of their sentence.
Surgical operations.—Five were performed during the year.
