The hospital has similar means of ventilation and is furnished with a small kitchen. Keeping the diet warm, preparing food, and a range with oven, warm pantry, and a housemaid for sixty ward linen, address for the crockery, a press forward for ward linen and a ward scullery with sink and cold water tap for washing up, and a filter for water. At the opposite end of the verandah is a pantry communicating with the ward in two towers, so arranged as not to interfere with the communication between all parts of the verandah, thus preserving freedom of access from the wards and entire isolation, are the sanitary adjuncts consisting of urinals and a hospital, with two W.C.s, two bathrooms, and lavatories therein. The ward and two bath rooms in the blocks, as well as all other buildings, have verandahs from 10 to 12 feet wide, then formed by brick arches resting on cast iron columns, a method of construction which enables a large amount of shelter from the sun to be obtained and structural stability to resist typhoons. The walls of the wards, as of all the buildings of the hospital, are designed to face the weather, with a hollow cavity and non-conducting material, and to be stable with the quantity of material, a corresponding increase in durability is provided.

A large proportion of window area is provided, there being either a casement or a double-hung window. Each ward has windows arrayed in two facets, the upper and lower sashes being hung on hinges to open inwards and double hung with iron catches. The ventilation of all the wards is provided for by inlet ventilators and extracting shafts; the inlets are small flues formed within the thickness of the walls.
