24. A large proportion of the deaths in the Hospital occur within 24 hours of admission. The sick poor go there to die. 511 were brought in moribund as compared with 649 in 1932. Those brought in dead include bodies sent from ships in harbour, from neighbouring hospitals, from the Public Dispensaries, and from private houses. These are taken to the Tung Wah for the benefit of the free coffins and free burials, and also to avoid post-mortem examinations.
25. The new building in course of erection will be ready for occupation early in 1934 and will be an immense improvement on anything that has gone before, including better light and air.
26. The Government Nurses Examination was started early in 1933, when the first batch of candidates from all the Hong Kong Hospitals was examined. At the second examination, held in December, 14 nurses from this hospital entered for the Preliminary examination. Twelve passed in all subjects, one passed in half, and one failed. This is the first batch of nurses sent from this hospital: and the Tung Wah is the first Chinese Hospital, under the Tung Wah management, to send in any candidates for the Government examination.
THE KWONG WAH HOSPITAL.
27. This hospital does for Kowloon and the Peninsula what the Tung Wah and the Tung Wah Eastern do for the island of Hong Kong. There is official accommodation for about 326 beds of which 229 are for general diseases, 40 are for tuberculosis cases and 57 are for maternity cases. There are 18 private wards, including 7 for maternity cases.
28. The accommodation cannot keep pace with the growth in population. Kowloon has considerably more than doubled itself during the last ten years. No patient is turned away for want of room; and in both medical and surgical wards it is common to find two in a bed, and occasionally some sleeping on the floor.
