Staff. Dr. B. C. Wong has continued to hold the post of House Surgeon during the year. Dr. Woo was appointed Assistant House Surgeon on July 1st and resides in the Hospital.

Further additions to the staff were also found necessary, a dresser trained by me in the Government Dispensary was appointed as well as two trained midwives. The latter assist in dressings and in the operating theatre.

In-patients. The total admissions for the year numbered 3,213 of which 198 were admitted in a moribund condition or died shortly after admission, this leaves a balance of 3,015 patients of which number 1,746 elected to be treated by Western methods and 1,269 by Eastern methods.

These figures show that 56.2% of the patients preferred Western treatment and 43.8% Eastern treatment.
