INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF CIVIL HOSPITALS,

To
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF

DEPARTMENT.
Dated Patna, the 17th August 1932.
SUBJECT.—Annual report on the working of the Ranchi Indian Mental Hospital, Kanke,
for the year 1931.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit, for the information of
Government, the Superintendent's report on the Ranchi Indian
Mental Hospital during the year 1931, together with the returns
in the prescribed form.
The difficulty of overcrowding which is always an acute
problem in institutions of this kind has been successfully over-
come during the year under report.
Improvements by providing necessary buildings such as
more isolation blocks are still delayed owing to financial difficul-
ties, but one may record that a satisfactory state of efficiency is
maintained under the able management of Major Dhunjibhoy.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
L. COOK, COL., I.M.S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals,
Bihar and Orissa,
ANNUAL REPORT
ON THE
Working of the Ranchi Indian
Mental Hospital, Kanke, in
Bihar and Orissa for the year
1931.
1. Administration.—I
held charge of the hospital through-
out the year under review.
2. Provinces served.—During the period under report this
hospital received patients from the provinces of Bengal and
Bihar and Orissa.
3. Accommodation.—The
accommodation of the hospital
remained the same as in the previous years, viz., 1,014 for males
272 for females, total 1,286, which is apportioned in the propor-
tion of three-fourths and one-fourth to Bengal and Bihar and
Orissa, respectively.
The male section of the hospital remained overcrowded
throughout the year under report and there was a great demand
on the 50 emergency beds sanctioned by Government in 1929
with a view to lessen congestion. As in the former years care-
fully selected cases were only admitted to these emergency beds
and harmless and easily manageable cases were refused admission
on account of congestion. Owing to financial stringency none of
the additional buildings included in the scheme of expansion of
this hospital which has been administratively approved by
Government could be taken up during the year under report.
4. Patients.—The
following table shows the number of
patients resident in the hospital on the 1st January 1931 and
two previous years :—

As in the previous years special efforts were made with the
help of the Magistrates and Police throughout the year under
report to discharge incurable harmless insane patients to the care
of their relatives, as a result of which 8 patients were discharged.
No trace of any friend or relative could be found in 7 cases
in spite of vigorous enquiries instituted by the Magistrates con-
cerned. In 8 cases the plea of inability on economic grounds
to take charge of the patients put forward by the relatives was
accepted by the enquiring Magistrates.
5. The maximum number of patients resident in the
hospital on any one night during the year under report was 1,280
(1,051 males and 229 females) against 1,264 (1,049 males and
215 females) in the previous year,
6. Total admissions.—The admissions (including re-admis-
sions) during the year under report were 132 (97 males and
35 females) against 99 (63 males and 36 females) in 1930 and
93 (64 males and 29 females) in 1929.
7. Re-admissions.—Ten patients were re-admitted (6 males
and 4 females) during the year under report, against 1 male in
1930 and 7 (5 males and 2 females) in 1929.
Of the above 10 patients, 2 were criminal insanes and
were re-admitted after trial and 8 were non-criminal patients of
the Manic Depressive Psychosis type.
8. Total population.—The total population of the hospital
during the year under report was 1,388 (1,131 males and 257
females) against 1,363 (1,112 males and 251 females) in 1930 and
1,367 (1,129 males and 238 females) in 1929.
9. Daily average strength.—The daily average strength of
the hospital during the year under report was 1259.41 (1033.34
males and 226.07 females) as compared with 1258.13 (1040.05
males and 218.08 females) in 1930 and 1257.12 (1048.31 males
and 208.81 females) in 1929.
10. (a) The ratio per cent of cases cured to the daily average
strength was 4.53 (4.16 males and 6.19 females) in 1931 as
compared with 4.69 (3.94 males and 8.71 females) in 1930 and
3.89 (3.24 males and 7.18 females) in 1929.
(b) The ratio per cent of cases cured to the total admission
during the year under report was 14.39 (13.40 males and 17.14
females) as compared with 24.24 (23.49 males and 22.22 females)
in 1930 and 18.60 (16.94 males and 22.22 females) in 1929.
