Enclosure IV.
Report of the Inspecting Medical Officer of the Tang Wa Hospital.
TUNG WA HOSPITAL, HONGKONG, 4th February, 1898.
SIR,I have the honour to report regarding the Tung Wa Hospital during the year 1897; and as this is the first report under the new conditions that have followed the issue of the Report of the Commission appointed in 1896 by His Excellency Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, G.C.M.G., to enquire into the working and organization of the Hospital, I propose to describe in greater detail than will be necessary in future reports the arrangements which have been made for its inore satisfactory working in the future, in order that these may be placed on record.
I assumed the duties of Inspecting Medical Officer on the 1st January, 1897; and on the same date Dr. CHUNG KING UE, who is a Diplomate of the Viceroy's Medical College, Tientsin, and was Resident Surgeon in the Alice Memorial Hospital during a period of eight years, became the first Resident Surgeon with a training in Western medicine, surgery, and midwifery in the Tung Wa Hospital.
