Rangoon.—Date of inspection, 7th
November 1879.
Drainage fair.
( 4 )
IV.—Hospital bedding old, and requires renewal.
I.—The lock-hospital is an excellently well adapted build-
ing, and is replete with efficient arrangements for the treat
ment of the patients it has to accommodate. The ventilation
is exceptionally good. The hospital is built on high and
sloping ground. Drainage entirely natural.
II.—The latrine attached to the hospital is in good order : it has two seats. The dry-
earth system is effectually carried out, and coal-tar freely used. No foul drains or cess
pools in connection with the latrine.
III.—A good bath-room, with an abundant supply of water from a well in the com
pound.
IV.—Twelve iron cots. The patients bring their own bedding.
I.—Hospital clean and well ventilated. Accommoda
tion for eight beds. Drainage fairly good, assisted by super
ficial earth-drains.
II.—The buildings in the same enclosure with the hospital are a latrine, cook-room,
and matron's room: all are kept clean. The latrine is built of wood ; it has no cess-pool
or foul drains connected with it. The dry-earth system is fairly carried out, and coal-tar
freely used.
III.—A small bath-room in good condition. Water-supply abundant from a well in
the compound.
IV.—Bedding and cots in good condition
I.—The hospital is kept in as cleanly a state as an insti
tution of this description, with a large number of not over-
clean patients, will permit. The ventilation is fairly good.
II—The latrine consists of 12 compartments, scarcely sufficient for the large number
of patients always in hospital, and is kept fairly clean. The dry-earth system is efficiently
carried out, and coal-tar freely used. There is a cess-pool in connection with the latrine
into which the wastings from it find their way. The foul water is bailed out into barrels
and taken away by the conservancy carts.
III.—There are five bath-rooms,—two for Europeans and three for Natives. They are
small and ill-adapted for the purpose. The water-supply is from a well in the compound,
good and abundant.
IV.—Most of the bedding is in good condition. Each Native patient is furnished will:
a carpet, quilt, and pillow. There are rattaned wooden bedsteads for 66 patients : the
remainder sleep on the floor. Some of the bedding will have to be renewed. The Euro
peans have each a carpet, blanket, quilt, pillow, and sheet. There are five bedsteads for
them.
The hospital buildings were clean and kept in an orderly
state. Ventilation ample, drainage natural and sufficient,
the hospital being situated on high and sloping ground.
II.—Sanitary condition of all buildings connected with the hospital good. They
consist of a cook-room, a small bath-room, and a small latrine. There are no cess-pools or
foul drains in connection with the latrine. The dry-earth system is carried out, and coal-
tar freely used. I found the latrine perfectly clean and free from smell.
III.—Water-supply good and plentiful from a well in the vicinity of the hospital.
IV.—The hospital bedding consists of coir mattrasses, quilts, and blankets. Patients
who require clean linen are supplied with blue cloth. The cots are wooden. Bedding and
clothin g all in good condition and kept clean.
I.—I found the hospital clean and in fair repair. No
alterations have been made in the buildings since last report.
It is a very old structure, and was built originally as an hospi
tal for the Arakan Battalion. It has ample accommodation,
in fact more than required, and is sufficiently well ventilated. The site is flat, and
drainage is effected by superficial earth-drains.
II—Sanitary condition of the buildings connected with the hospital good. They
consist of a cook-room and a latrine. The latrine is built of wood, and divided into four
compartments, each furnished with a glazed pan. The dry-earth system is said to be
fairly carried out, as the pans are glazed. Coal-tar is not used. There are no cess-pools or
.foul drains.
III.—One bath-room at the back verandah of the hospital. Water-supply sufficient and
obtained from a well at some distance from it. Soiled water is absorbed by the ground.
IV.—There are a few necessary articles of furniture, but no cots, bedding, or clothing
of any description. The patients sleep on the floor, and bring their own bedding.
