Tung Wah Eastern Hospital.
This Hospital continues to do very good work. It serves the useful purpose of reminding the older foundation—the Tung Wah—what it is possible for a Chinese Hospital to be. Everything is new and clean and it had the advantage of starting fresh in up-to-date buildings.
The staff consists of Government Medical Officer, Dr. Phoon Seck Weng, and two Junior Doctors appointed by the Directors of the Tung Wah.
The total number of beds is 195.
