# THE TUNG WAH HOSPITAL.

363. The year 1933 witnessed the demolition and reconstruction of a considerable portion of this institution. Established in 1873 and added to from time to time it had become a confusing assemblage of buildings some of which were much below the standard required in a modern hospital or infirmary. As mentioned in the 1933 annual report the wards were, many of them, old, dark, and in some respects insanitary but they provided shelter, food and medical attendance for many sufferers who would otherwise have had no means of relief.

364. Nothing short of demolition and reconstruction could make the place satisfactory. There were of course sentimental objections to the demolition of the fine old assembly hall where year after year the directors had met and discussed the problems confronting them but space was very limited and it was not possible to retain the old hall and at the same time erect a building which would meet the requirements of the situation. It was decided therefore to raze the hall and the insanitary buildings, and construct in their place a six-storey modern hospital incorporating in it a new assembly hall.

365. The New Block, which was opened to receive patients early in 1934, contains accommodation for 144 beds. The whole hospital now has accommodation for 451 beds. It is hoped to replace the remaining out-of-date buildings as funds become available.

366. The staff consists of a Chinese Medical Officer of the Government Medical Department and three Resident Medical Officers whose salaries are paid by the Hospital. There are in addition a number of Chinese Herbalists who practise Chinese medicine for the benefit of those who prefer that treatment.
