Report of Assistant Medical Officer for Native Hospitals.
I began work on October the 6th, 1923 and spent the first few weeks in visiting the eight Chinese Public Dispensaries and the two Maternity Hospitals in Western Street and Wanchai.
THE DISPENSARIES.
Several of the dispensaries needed a good deal of cleaning and tidying up. The bottles needed new labels and rearranging and a few items of equipment were necessary. The premises in the Central and Shaukiwan Districts are poor, but in the latter place we have hopes of a better building in the future to meet the needs of a growing population. I was struck by the very large amount of most useful work that the dispensaries are doing. After the Chinese New Year holidays in 1924 I started seeing women, who specially desire to see a woman doctor, one day a week, at each dispensary. This seems to meet a need, and at several places I am obliged to limit the numbers seen. The following are the figures seen during 1926:
Shamshuipo Dispensary 219
Hunghom 1,079
Yaumati 823
Shaukiwan 780
Wanchai ?? 474
Central 441
Tsan Yuk Hospital 983
Kwong Wah Hospital (since April) 411
Total number of patients seen 5,210
At the Tsan Yuk Hospital patients who wish to be seen without waiting or on any day other than the regular out-patient day pay a fee of $3.00 to the Hospital. There were 105 of these patients last year.
THE KWONG WAH HOSPITAL.
I began visiting the Kwong Wah in November 1923. The midwife in charge of the Maternity Ward resigned at the end of the month, and the Hospital was fortunate in obtaining the service of Sin Sz Ku, a very capable and energetic nurse. She was put in charge of all the women's work, and carried out many improvements. The maternity cases were moved to a
