IX.—The arrangements for examining and treating the women of the city and cantonment.
Arrangements satisfactory in all the hospitals.
X.—How far disease has increased or decreased among the women ; to what extent it has become less virulent ;
its nature as compared with that among men.
There has been an increase in the number of admissions at Akyab, Rangoon, and
Thayetmyo, and a more regular attendance at Bassein, as contrasted with last year.
Nothing like virulence has been observed at any of the stations, excepting at Akyab, where
the Medical Officer reports that " several of the women when admitted were subject to the
worst type of disease, but that all slowly recovered.
XI.—How far Dhaies have been employed, and with what success.
No Dhaies are employed at any of the stations.
XII—Any information on other matters, or suggestions for the improvement of the rules.
The suggestions for the improvement of the rules have already been submitted in this
office letter No. 194C., dated 7th March 1878.
Extracts from the inspection reports of Deputy Surgeon-General H. R. Oswald, M.D.,
on Lock-hospitals in British Burma.
I.-The hospital was clean and in fair order. Ventilation
ample. Drainage effected by superficial earth-drains, and
assisted by the natural configuration of the ground.
II.—The only building in connection with the hospital is the latrine. It was clean.
There are no cess-pools. The dry-earth system is not used, neither is coal-tar.
III.—There is a good bath-room in the back verandah, and an ample supply of water
from the river close by.
IV—Mattrasses and pillows stuffed with coir, and blankets.
I—The hospital, which consists of only one ward, was clean, but stands in need of
painting and some repairs. The drainage is good, the site
being favourable for this purpose, and artificial drains not
required.
II.—The latrine was clean. There are no cess-pools or foul drains. The dry-earth
system is not in use. Coal-tar is freely used.
III—The bath-room is underneath the hospital. There is abundance of water in a
well in the compound.
