596 inoculations against cholera were carried out on officers and families and 10,478 on prisoners from May to December 1st 1939.
13. 12,553 prisoners were vaccinated during the year.
14. 160 operations were performed during the year comprising: hernia, hydrocele, circumcision, haemorrhoids and removal of cysts, etc.
15. 559 Officers (inclusive of office staff) reported sick and were seen by the Medical Officer.
16. 883 Officers' wives, children and Chinese Government servants were seen by the Medical Officer in his consulting rooms. An Indian Lady M.O. attends every Tuesday afternoon to see gynaecological and other cases.
17. Fairly intensive treatment of venereal diseases has been carried out during the year. Prisoners whose sentence did not permit a full course, i.e. under 2 months, were treated (in the event of gonorrhoea) with irrigations and injections of gonocrine and in some cases streptocide was given, and in the case of syphilis and chancroid were given local treatment and advised to attend a Government Clinic on discharge from prison.
622 cases of venereal diseases were treated, this number does not include cases where sentence has been too short for full treatment.
1,165 injections of acriflavine derivative were given.
1,460 injections of N.A.B.
148 injections of Bismuth Metal.
263 Bloods were sent to B.I. for W.R.
18. 75 Post-mortem examinations were carried out during the year by our own staff.
19. The following examinations were carried out in the Prison Hospital during the year.
3,567 Stools for Dysentery, Ova etc.
2,476 Blood slides for Malaria.
176 Sputums for T.B.
366 others for "B" Leprae - Pus cells, cocci etc.
26 Blood counts were carried out.
20. 352 floggings were witnessed during the year.
21. During the year there were 11 executions which were carried out satisfactorily.
22. Sanitation. As in previous years the precincts of the Gaol have been kept scrupulously clean. A new septic tank has been built adjoining the main tank of the prison - this was completed in the middle of December. This tank should be of great service, as the main septic tank was previously built to serve 1,500 men whereas it had been serving almost 3,000 men until recently, and had been occasionally going out of action. Routine examinations of prisoners employed in the cookhouse were carried out. Of the total of 132 examinations 23 were found to be unfit to be employed.
