"The Tung Wah Hospital is a voluntary hospital out receives & Government grant annually. The Board of Management la entirely Chinese but the Principal Civil Medical Officer has the right to appoint a government medical officer who attends daily,

The Hospital is situated in a very congested area of the town and is composed of one and two storied build- ings. The total number of in-patients admitted during 1919 was 7,002. Half the beds are for patients desiring Western treatment; in the other half chinese medicine is practised, New patients enter a receiving ward; then decide whether they prefer to be treated on the Chinese or on the Western side.

I had the opportunity of seeing the wards in both sections of the Hospital. They were all very dirty; some of the beds were boards on tressels, There were, of course, no mattresses; the only covering was a very dirty looking quilt. There were numerous bed pans lying about the floor and all of them were indescribably dirty. There were no trained nurses in either the male or female wards. Ignorant coolies were supposed to officiate on the male side, and women of corresponding class were found in the female wards. I was informed that there was no matron, The Hospital lacked entirely the ustal medical and surgical equipment. The Western side was in charge of a very able Chinese Doctor who had qualified at Hong Kong Univer- sity, and who struggled manfully under the depressing conditions. The patients on the Chinese side, I was told, were treated by about six Chinese men, who had little or no knowledge of either medicine or surgery."

The Chinese Dispensaries are managed by a Chinese Advisory Committee of which the Secretary for Chinese Affairs is Chairman, These Dispensaries are supposed to give the native populatim the advantage of Western medicine. The men in charge take an abbreviated medical course at Hong Kong University (such courses now abolished) and carry on their work in small shop-like premises.
