TUNG WA HOSPITAL.
Report by Dr. C. W. McKenny, Visiting Medical Officer.
It gives me much pleasure to thank the Chairman (Mr. U King Shue) and the Directors for the generous and efficient management of the affairs of this institution.
Buildings and Equipment.-The buildings have been suitably maintained during the year. No structural alterations have been made.
Staff-Dr. G. H. Thomas has again performed the duties of Resident Medical Officer in a satisfactory manner.
Dr. Teh Lean-swee acted with success as Assistant House Surgeon and Physician till June when he resigned in order to take up private practice in Penang. Dr. Cheah Tiang-eam (M.B., B.S., Hongkong University) has taken over the duties.
University Students (Medical Clinic).-During the year as heretofore students have attended for lectures, case-taking, anaesthetic and obstetrical work in this hospital.
A special wing of the hospital, consisting of two large and six small wards, has been set apart for European treatment of medical cases and arrangements have been made in order to facilitate students in their studies and research.
The following figures express the comparative results of Eastern and Western treatment. It should be understood that all cases admitted are diagnosed by a staff trained in European methods and who are graduates of the local University. It is then quite open to the patient to choose whichever of the two forms of treatment he may desire. An exception has, of course, to be made with those persons whose condition involves legal or public health problems or where either public safety or general sanitation are in question.
The total number of in-patients (5,480) were divided thus:-
Cases treated by native methods :--
Original choice, ... 3,417
Transferred from Western treatment, 226
Less transferred to Western treatment, 941
Total, ... 2,702
