THE CHINESE HOSPITALS AND DISPENSARIES.
The Chinese Hospitals (4 in number viz 3 general and 1 for infectious diseases) are Chinese Institutions whose relation to Government has been established by Ordinance. They are subsidised by Government, are subject to inspection by certain Government Officials and each has a Chinese member of the Medical Department on its Resident Staff.
The authority in administrative control is a Committee of Chinese gentlemen elected each year by the subscribers.
These Hospitals were originally established to give accommodation to those Chinese whose fears and prejudices against Western Medicine prevented their applying for relief at the Government Hospitals. The Tung Wah Hospital situated in Hong Kong was first occupied in 1873. The Kwong Wah Hospital was built in Kowloon in 1911 as an extension of the Tung Wah. The Tung Wah Eastern Hospital, another branch of the Tung Wah situated in the eastern district of Victoria, was opened on November 27th 1929.
The Government gave the sites free and with grants of money assisted in the erection of the buildings. In addition both Hospitals and Dispensaries receive yearly grants from Government funds.
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 provisions of coffins for, and the burial of the dead.
(e) Vaccination.
(f) Health propaganda.
