+DURING THE PAST THREE YEARS, BOTH THE BOARD OF

THE HOSPITAL. THESE INCLUDE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF

A BLOOD BANK, THE PROVISION OF AN EMERGENCY HELICOPTER

EAR, NOSE AND THROAT SPECIALISTS. IN ADDITION SOME OF

YOUR NURSES HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR TRAINING SURGICAL

GOVERNMENT HAS ALSO PROVIDED A RADIOGRAPHER TO OPERATE

YOUR NEWLY-PURCHASED X-RAY MACHINE.

+THE NORTH WING, COMPLETED LAST YEAR, HAS PROVIDED

MODERN AND ENLARGED QUARTERS FOR THE NURSING AND MINOR

STAFF. THE KITCHEN FACILITIES HAVE BEEN VERY MUCH

IMPROVED TO CATER TO AN INCREASING NUMBER OF PATIENTS,

MANY OF WHOM REQUIRE SPECIALIZED DIETS. ALL THESE

IMPROVEMENTS HAVE RESULTED IN THE HOSPITAL BEING USED

MORE FULLY

THE WIDEST POSSIBLE RANGE OF MEDICAL FACILITIES TO

THE NEEDY AT A HINIMUM CHARGE. IN ACHIEVING THIS

LAUDABLE AIM, YOUR BOARDS OF DIRECTORS, BOTH PAST

A GREAT DEAL OF VALUABLE TIME AND MONEY. YOUR EFFORTS

HAVE BENEFITED YUEN LONG, AND FOR THIS 1 RECORD MY
