REPORT ON THE LUNATIC ASYLUMS IN BURMA
3. Population.—The annual average population of the two asylums in
the last triennium was 1,059 ; it rose to 1,109 in the triennium under
review. These figures make it evident that the total accommodation
available at the asylums in Burma is far below the present day require-
ments. In Rangoon, the highest number confined on any one night was
840 (701M. + 139F.) against 813 in 1922 and 769 in 1921.
4. Admission and Discharges.—The number admitted into the asylum
rose from 209 in 1921 to 225 in 1922 and fell by one in 1923 as against the
steady decrease (246 and 232 and 220 in 1918, 1919 and 1920 respectively
of the preceding triennium). The daily average strength has increased
steadily from 816.28 in 1918, 828.12 in 1919 and 855.90 in 1920 to 869.46
in 1921, 904.98 in 1922 and 952.37 in 1923. The maximum population
housed in the two asylums in any one night of the triennial period under
review is returned as 898 in 1921, 942 in 1922 and 972 in 1923 as against
857 in 1918—856 in 1919 and 876 in 1920. The number discharged
was highest in 1921, viz., 138, it fell to 99 in 1922 and rose again to 129 in
1923. The total number of criminal lunatics confined in the asylum was
433 in 1921, 447 in 1922, and 470 in 1923 against 413 in 1918, 411 in
1919, and 411 in 1920. The daily average strength of this class of
lunatics was 380.30 in 1921, 399.37 in 1922 and 420.39 in 1923.
5. Sickness and Mortality.—The general health of the inmates of
lunatic asylums during the triennium 1921-23, was satisfactory. The
daily average number of sick for each year is returned as 152.33 in
1921, 148.64 in 1922, and 122.63 in 1923. There was no epidemic,
though a case of chicken-pox occurred at Rangoon and one of small-pox
at the Minbu Asylum. These cases were isolated and successfully
treated. In 1921-22 when Rangoon Town was infected with plague, the
inmates were inoculated as a precautionary measure. All the inmates of
the asylums are vaccinated.
The percentage of deaths to the daily average strength during the
year 1923 was 9.74 against 7.29 and 7.74 in 1921 and 1922 respectively.
There was no death at Minbu Lunatic Asylum, while the number of
deaths recorded at the Rangoon Lunatic Asylum during 1923 was 80 (62
males plus 18 females) as against 63 in 1922 and 66 in 1921.
The total number of sick cases admitted into the Asylum Hospital at
Rangoon was 1,195 in 1923 against 1,192 in 1922 and 842 in 1921. The
causes of ailments at the Rangoon Lunatic Asylum in order of prevalence
were Ascaris Lumoriccidis, Influenza, Scabies, Constipation, Dysentery,
Abscess of Arolar tissue, Diarrhoea, Pulmonary Tuberculosis. The
usual treatment given to the hospital inmates was followed.
The increased mortality in 1923 was due to the poor state of health
of patients newly admitted and to deteriorating health of chronic cases as
will be seen from the statement showing the duration of stay in asylum
as below :—

The treatment adopted for Tuberculosis cases was segregation, open
air, codliver oil and generous diet.
6. Residence.—The total number of admissions during 1923 was 224
(198 males plus 26 females) as against 225 and 209 in 1922 and 1921
respectively. Rangoon contributed 56.25 per cent. of the total admis-
sions. It is certainly curious that Rangoon is responsible for more than
half of the admissions, and Major Robson, I.M.S., attributes this to
Rangoon being a great artery for the flow of immigrant itinerant labour
into Burma in search of work and again to visit their native lands.
These people are specially liable to confusional insanity following acute
specific diseases and also complicating Tuberculosis, as their want of
fixed residence exposes them to neglect and privations, when ill.
7. Occupation and age of Inmates.—The
various occupations from
which most of the lunatics were drawn were those of clerks, coolies and
cultivators.
The number of military police admitted into the lunatic asylum
during 1923 was 4 as against one and 6 in 1922 and 1921 respectively.
Almost 70 per cent. of the total admissions for the year was drawn
from between the ages of 20 and 40. This period of life is admitted to
be one where males and females are put to the highest strain in their
struggle for existence, and are liable to cultivate and develop the evil
habits of drug taking.
8. Types of Insanity.—The principal types of insanity among the cases
treated during 1923 were Mania 470 (males 394, females 76), Melancholia
329 (296 + 33) against 439 (362 + 77 and 320 (287 + 33 )in 1922 and 441
(357 + 84 and 275 (242 + 33) in 1921 respectively. The number of cases
treated under insanity caused by Cannabis Indica or its derivatives were
6, 4 and 10 in 1921, 1922 and 1923 respectively.
The number of cases
recovered and improved in the asylum under this head in each year of
the triennium is 3, 1 and 3 respectively or 50 per cent., 25 per cent. and
30 per cent. of the inmates admitted in the asylum. The cases admitted
and classified under Idiocy were 26 (21 + 5) in 1923 and 23 (18 + 5) and
24 (19 + 5) in 1922 and 1921 respectively. Idiocy is little amenable to
treatment, and as such the number recorded as improved or recovered
in the triennium is nil.
The chief aetiological factors and associated conditions of those
admitted into the asylum in Burma during the triennium under notice
were Toxic, mental instability and mental stress. The annual number
admitted for each of these ailments being 57 -24—35, 104—25—29 and
58—40—38 in the years 1923, 1922 and 1921 respectively.
FOR THE TRIENNIUM 1921-23.

21. Finance.—The total receipts under all heads amounted to
Rs. 3,28,854 in 1923 as compared with Rs. 3,24,747 in 1922 and
Rs. 3,17,728 in 1921. The amounts realized from paying patients were
Rs. 49,558 in 1923 as against Rs. 48,620 and Rs. 47,682 in 1922 and 1921
respectively. The charges on account of work done by the Public
Works Department were Rs 13,927 in 1923 as compared with Rs. 9,286
in 1922 and Rs. 11,922 in 1921. Deducting the receipts realized from
paying patients and Miscellaneous Receipts on account of the sale of
articles prepared by patients, remitted into the treasury from the total
receipts the net expenditure for the upkeep of the lunatic asylums in
Burma amounted to Rs. 2,76,142 in 1923 against Rs. 2,70,679 in 1922
and Rs. 2,66,492 in 1921. The increase in expenditure occurs in 1923
chiefly in the Rangoon Lunatic Asylum under the headings Establishment,
Clothing and Bedding and Book charges. The increases under Establish-
ment are mainly due to the changes in the appointments which occurred
in Rangoon in consequence of return to duty after long leave of Major
H. H. Robson, I.M.S., to the appointment of Superintendent, Lunatic
Asylum, Rangoon, and to the payment of leave allowances of subordinate
staff. The increases under book charges are due to Public Works
Department expenditure and to the value of stores used from the
Asylum Manufacture Department, the requirement of which was larger
owing to the increase in the population. The noticeable feature under
Finance is the steady increase under receipts from paying patients.
The expenditure under " Diet" shows a decrease of Rs. 6,404 with an
increasing population of the asylum. The fall in the expenditure under
this head is attributed by the Superintendent, Lunatic Asylum, Rangoon,
to favourable contract rates secured for the major portion of the year
and to the cost of the purchase of paddy being debited against the
previous year's budget allotment.
22. Staff.—During the triennium, the appointment of the Superintendent
of Lunatic Asylum, Rangoon, was held by Major H. H. Robson, I.M.S.,
from the 1st January to 18th May 1921 and from the 16th May 1923 to
the end of the triennium. Lieut. F. H. O'Leary, I.M.D., officiated as
Superintendent, Lunatic Asylum, Rangoon, from the 19th May 1921 to
the 15th May 1923. Dr. C. S. Krishnasawmy held the appointment of
the Superintendent, Lunatic Asylum, Minbu, throughout the triennium.
The thanks of the Department are due to the officers named above for
the efficient performance of their duties during the triennium.
