The staff of the Malaria Bureau did a considerable amount of investigation, making mosquito surveys, taking spleen census and making blood examinations for the presence of parasites. The reception given to the members of the staff demonstrated that there is no opposition to scientific investigation, provided the people understand the objects aimed at and are treated with ordinary tact and civility. Almost invariably they showed themselves interested in the proceedings and offered their co-operation.
The Position during 1932.
514. During the year medical relief continued to be distributed by the Medical Department, the St. John Ambulance Brigade and the New Territories Medical Benevolent Society,
515. The Medical Department staff was as follows:-
1 European M.O. resident at Kowloon.
1 Chinese M.O. resident at Tai Po.
1 Dresser resident at Un Long.
1 Midwife resident at Tai Po.
1 Midwife resident at Un Long.
1 Midwife resident at Tsun Wan.
1 Midwife resident at Cheung Chau.
516. There is a dispensary at Tai Po and another at Un Long in the Northern District. There are no dispensaries in the Southern District.
517. The Government Motor Travelling Dispensary commenced working in June.
518. Early in the year the Government accepted from Sir Robert and Lady Ho Tung the generous gift of a plot of land near Ko Tung and a sum of $100,000 for the erection and upkeep of a welfare centre.
519. The generous offer of Mr. Ruttonjee to erect a dispensary at Sham Tseng and to hand it over when finished to the Government was also accepted.
520. Recommendations had been made by the D.M.S.S. for the establishment of Government dispensaries at Tsun Wan and Cheung Chau and provision had been entered for the same in the draft estimates. The provisions were deleted by the Estimates Committee on the ground that the Medical Benevolent Association had opened a dispensary and hospital in Tsun Wan and the St. John Ambulance Brigade a similar institution at Cheung Chau.
