MEDICAL REPORT

ON KOWLOON AND NEW TERRITORIPS. -

Throughout last year Dr. J. T. Smalley performed the duties of Medical Officer, Kowloon and Now Territories and Assistant Medical Officer of Health He reports a follows.

The health of the European and Chinese staffjof the Kowloon-Canton Railway has been good throughout the year.

The number ofʻmalarial. cases still remains small. The medi- cal chests on the trains and in the stations have been maintained throughout the year. To accom- modate accident and other cases of a serious nature, two stretcher cots were installed in the luggage vans of the trains. These stretchers are swung so as to minimise all jarring as far as is practicable. They are made to fit the wheeled ambulances attached to the Disinfecting and Police Stations so as to obviate the necessity of transferring the patient from one stretcher to the other. In addition, the guards, and station masters have been instructed in First Aid. This instruction has been admirably carried out by Inspector Wingard of the Railway Staff, the men having to satisfy me by exam- ination at the end of their course as to their ability to attend and treat surgical and medical emergencies. The Chinese Sta was examined with regard to their eyesight and colour vision twice in the year" Foor people lost their lives on the Rail- way during the year, two of them being Railway employees. In ad- dition there were 3 cases of injury resulting from accidents.

The health of all ranks of the Police Force and their Families was very satisfactory throughout the

year.

Reporting generally, Dr. Smalley says: The year under review was characterised by an outbreak of cerebro-spinal meningitis, the total number of cases recorded in Row, Hoon during the year being 399. The figure on account of local conditions is not a true index of the severity of the outbreak, and the number of cases was undoubtedly much larger. The first recorded case in Kowloca occurred on 15th February. The last case recorded during the year was on 11th December. Of these record- ed cases, 173 were treated in hos pitals, mainly the Kwong Wah Hos- pital, where special accommodation was made for them; the remainder being found amongst bodies sent to Kowloon Mortuary ie, dumped

bodies and bodies from the Chinese public dispensaries. The total deaths were 265, the mortality working out at 50.5 per cent.,,
