The activities of the Chinese Hospitals include:-
(a) The care of the sick and treatment by Western methods or Chinese methods according to the wish of the patient.
(b) Maternity benefits and infant welfare - by Western methods only.
(c) Assistance to the destitute.
(d) The provision of coffins for, and the burial of the dead.
(e) Vaccination.
(f) Health propaganda.
Progress in the Chinese Hospitals. - Much progress has been made in all departments of the Hospitals during the last few years. The improvements include:
(a) The appointment of University graduates as full-time Resident Medical Officers.
(b) The foundation of training schools for female nurses.
(c) Extensions and improvements in the male nursing section.
(d) The establishment of Clinical laboratories in charge of full-time laboratory assistants.
(e) The installation of a shadowless scialytic lamp in the operating theatre.
(f) The provision of X-ray apparatus.
(g) The purchase of a motor ambulance.
(h) Improvements in the accommodation for patients.
(i) Improvements in quarters for staff.
The training course for nurses is spread over three years, the first two for general work, the third for obstetrical training.
A few years ago Surgery in the Chinese Hospitals was almost non-existent. In 1928 there were 673 operations performed, many of which belong to the category of major operations. The growth of this side of curative medicine shows the advance which has been made in the campaign against prejudice. This has been brought about by a combination of factors, chief among which are the improvements which have been made in Wards and Theatres, the better nursing, the keenness of the Directors and of the Staff, and last but by no means least, the stimulating influence of the Government Visiting Medical Officers.
