Report to accompany the plans for the Civil Hospital proposed to be erected at Hong Kong

Before proceeding to describe the Building, I have to state that the site which has been selected, though ample in area is singularly ill adapted for the proposed purpose as far as arrangements are concerned. The surface is extremely irregular and the gradients so steep that it has been found to be greatly impossible to find any area which can be made sufficiently evenly level as to admit of the erection of the Hospital in one ground level. Considerable expense must very necessarily be incurred in forming platforms and overcoming the irregularities of the site.

In the Plans it has been decided to propose the erection of Hospitals, one for general patients and another detached, for fever cases. This second Hospital would have 11 Wards with the requisite accommodation for Physicians, Nurses, Baths, Lavatories etc., and a separate washing Establishment should be attached to it but the situation on which these buildings should stand is difficult to determine, until the present Plans have been examined and reported upon by the local authorities.
