The number of Chinese admitted to hospital with severe injuries, the result of vehicular (mostly motor car) accidents, was very large and a high percentage proved fatal.
Operations.—990 operations were recorded in the anaesthetic register as being performed in the operating theatre. A number of minor ones were performed in the out-patients Department. These operations were performed by the Government Staff, by the University Clinics under the control of Professors Digby and Tottenham and in dental matters by Dr. Shovelton and in a few cases by other dentists.
Out-Patients Departments.—Government servants were seen by the Government Medical Officer between the hours of 9 a.m. and 10.30 a.m. each morning. Apart from this, the work of the Out-patients Department was undertaken by the University staff under the control of the Honorary Visiting Physician, Surgeon and Gynaecologist.
Patients, mostly Chinese, attended in the morning and clinics were held at certain stated hours.—(Treatment, including medicines and dressings, is free of charge).
30,889 persons attended as out-patients.
77 Patients received Anti-rabies treatment.
21,101 Prescriptions were dispensed.
The Police Force. The total number of admissions to hospital was 1,783 (1,889 in 1924) made up as follows:
Europeans 228 Indians 450 Cantonese 241 Wei Hai Wei Contingent 864European Police.—Taken collectively the health of these men was very good.
Indians. For some reason, at present uncertain, the hospital returns for these men were much smaller than in years past.
Cantonese. These men are only rarely seen in hospital.
Wei Hai Wei Contingent.—As in 1924, so again in 1925, a large number of these were admitted to hospital suffering from malaria. Several were invalided out of the service with malarial cachexia, and it is certain that many more will follow likewise.
Below is a table showing admissions of Wei Hai Wei Police to hospital suffering from Malaria for each month and showing the stations from which they came.
