The Maternity Department. This year was again quite successful 1091 cases being treated as against 1017 in 1922. It is interesting to note this steady increase, especially when one realises that in Victoria there are four other large Maternities in which either very cheap or free admissions can be obtained.
Operations performed:- 357 operations were performed under general anaesthesia.
The University Medical Clinic was in the care of Dr. C. W. McKenny, no particular variation was made from the methods of teaching in use in former years.
The branch of the Tung Wa Hospital which is situated at Kennedy Town and is used as a hospital for small-pox cases received 229 patients suffering from this disease and 122 of these died; 50 patients remained at the end of the year.
I desire to refer most happily to the generous and sympathetic manner in which the Board of Directors have performed their onerous duties not only during the year under review but in the past as well.
VIII. THE CHINESE MIDWIVES.
Seven midwives were employed as in previous years, and six pupils were being trained in midwifery at the expense of Government. Number of Confinements attended by Government Midwives at the different stations in 1923.
1923.
