FEMALE HOSPITAL AND DAI CLASS.
142. There is no qualified female Hospital Assistant appointed to the medical
charge of the female wards of the Victoria Hospital, Ajmer, for want of funds. A
Lady Doctor superintends the Mission Hospital for women where many patients
are treated.
143. Beawar.—Female Hospital Assistant Mrs. J. Martin was in charge of the
female ward of the Charitable Dispensary throughout the year. There was a
decrease in the number of both in and out-patients as compared with the figures
in 1909, which was probably due to plague at Beawar for the first four months of
the year.
144. Native States.—The returns received from the female hospitals in the
Native States of Rajputana show on the whole a considerable decrease of work
done during the year under report which is probably due to plague and the decrease
of malarial fevers.
145. Alwar.—Miss. T. Canagasaby, L.R.C.P. & S., was in charge of the Dufferin
Hospital at Alwar till the 24th June 1910, when she resigned and was relieved by
Female Hospital Assistant Bala Bai. Mrs. C. S. Gaudoin was appointed as Lady
Superintendent to the hospital from the 15th August 1910. There were 307 in and
11,786 out-door patients treated against 300 in and 14,212 out-door patients
in the previous year, a decrease of 2,426 in the attendance of out-patients which is
mainly due to there being no Lady Doctor for about two months of the year as
well as to the non-prevalance of malarial fevers.
146. There were 442 operations performed against 426 in 1909.
147. The Dai class was re-opened on 15th January 1910, there is only one
dai pupil.
148. Jodhpur.—Miss. J. Marsh, M.D., held charge of the Jaswant Hospital for
women at Jodhpur throughout the year. There was a decease of 702 in the attend-
ance of both in and out-door patients, due to a healthier year.
