395. Vaccinations numbered 1,670.
396. There was an Infant Welfare Clinic every Monday and 948 babies were seen. The Ante-natal Clinic still remains small, only 117 cases. There were 3,245 labours.
397. Major operations under general anaesthesia amounted to 157. In 1930 they were 179.
398. The number of deaths in hospital were 3,060. Figures of deaths in these Chinese Hospitals are apt to be misleading, as many sick are brought in when relatives think death is certain and nothing more can be done for them.
The Tung Wah Eastern Hospital.
399. 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.
400. The staff consists of a Chinese Medical Officer paid for by Government, Dr. Phoon Seck Weng, and two Junior Doctors appointed by the Directors of the Tung Wah.
401. The total number of beds is 195.
