The public service rendered by the Tung Wah Hospital continues to be very valuable. One would like to see the Chinese take still more advantage by seeking medical advice and treatment in the very early stage of disease. Too many of the patients suffer from chronic complaints for which there is often no cure or very little relief. It is interesting to note the increase in the number of women attending hospital for treatment.
