KOWLOON DISPENSARY.

During the year the attendance at the Government Dispensary, Kowloon, numbered 13,161, which includes 70 physical examinations and 215 vaccinations. Last year the figures were 13,686 and in 1917, 12,852 which however included 3,249 vaccinations. The small diminution in figures is accounted for by the fact that some of the people who formerly came to the Dispensary now go to the Kwong Wah Hospital since my appointment there, the latter institution being much nearer for many people.

A general anaesthetic was administered on 4 occasions only—we now use the Kwong Wah Hospital for Chinese patients who need an anæsthetic.

The number of prescriptions dispensed during the year was 5,192 as compared with 5,189 in 1918.

During the year there were 195 ambulance cases compared with 269 in 1918 which were removed to various Hospitals in the Colony. Of these, 107 were removed to Hospitals in Victoria (34 being European cases), and 93 to the Kwong Wah Hospital, Yaumati, being a decrease of 60 cases for the Hospitals in Victoria and 9 cases for the Kwong Wah Hospital. The decrease in the Victoria cases is due to the absence of a cerebro-spinal meningitis outbreak whilst the Kwong Wah Hospital figures show a relative increase when the absence of cerebro-spinal meningitis is considered.
