TSAK YUK MATERNITY HOSPITAL. (WEST POINT).
55. (a) This hospital was formally opened in October 1922. 31 beds are available for patients and 693 maternity cases in all were admitted as against 608 and 134 gynaecological cases as against 62 in 1925.
The matron, Miss Leung, left for a course of training at the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin. Two of the sisters have been performing her duties meanwhile. 12 probationers have been in training throughout the year. Six passed the examination of the Midwives Board last March and six new girls were admitted for the two years course of training required by the Midwives Board.
Infant Welfare Centre. 374 babies were brought with a total of 2,303 visits as against 341 and 2,025 respectively in 1925.
A charge of 20 cents a day is made for patients in the general wards, but no patient is refused admittance, even if she is unable to pay anything. Patients who occupy a private room pay $2 or $1 a day, and no 'tips' are allowed to anyone in the employment of the hospital. $5,043.55 was received from patients.
Patients who wish to be seen without waiting or on any day other than the regular out-patient day pay a fee of $3 to the Hospital Funds.
Thanks are again due to Dr. Tottenham and (during his absence in the summer) to Dr. Balean and Dr. Pillai for their assistance especially with the clinical work.
WAN TSAI MATERNITY HOSPITAL,
(b) The work of this hospital has steadily increased since it was established in 1919. 778 cases were admitted as against 858 in 1925.
A charge of 20 cents a day is made. Two small private wards are available for patients at $2 a day. Altogether $1,594.20 was received from patients in fees, $583.40 from private ward patients and $1,010.80 from the general ward patients.
It is opportune at the end of these sections on the work of the Native Hospitals to emphasise again the very valuable work done by Mrs. Hickling both in the way of general supervision in her capacity as Assistant Medical Officer in Charge of Native Hospitals and particularly in the treatment and nursing of gynaecological and maternity cases. Most noteworthy is the success which has attended her efforts to encourage Chinese
