NOTE
ON THE
Mental Hospitals in Burma
FOR THE YEAR 1926.
1. This report deals with the working of the Mental Hospital in
Rangoon on the St. John's Road, the occupied portion of the New Mental
Hospital at Tadagale, Rangoon, and the. temporary Mental Hospital at.
Minbu, during 1926.
2. Buildings.—No changes or alterations were made to the buildings of
the old Mental Hospital in Rangoon during the year. The older wooden
cottages in the Rangoon Mental Hospital remained in the same unsatis-
factory condition as before, and though the wooden cottages and brick
buildings are in fairly good condition, they cannot be considered entirely
satisfactory or sanitary. The male section and other buildings in the
New Hospital, Tadagale, are nearing completion and it is expected that
they will be taken into use in 1927. No additions or alterations were
made to the main or auxiliary buildings at the Minbu Mental Hospital.
There are structural defects in the Minbu buildings which afford facilities
for hiding articles and suicidal hanging.
3. Accommodation.—The total accommodation at the Mental Hospitals
was 930 (523 males and 272 females in Rangoon and 135 males at
Minbu) ; this includes the accommodation for 160 patients in the
completed female section of the new Mental Hospital at Tadagale, which
is now temporarily used for male patients. Hospital accommodation in
Rangoon is 129 (92 males and 37 females) including separate accommo-
dation of a ward of 8 beds for males and another of 7 beds for females
for T. B. cases and cells in which 12 male and 12 female dysentery cases
are segregated in their respective sections. The hospital accommodation
in Minbu is 3.
4. Population.—The total population excluding observation cases at
the commencement of the year at the Rangoon Mental Hospital was 810,
Rangoon (526 males and 134 females) and Tadagale 150 (all males)
against 873 at the end of the year. The highest number confined in any
one night at the Rangoon Mental Hospital was 888 (746 males and 142
females) and Tadagale 186 (all males). The total average strength at both
these hospitals was 848.34 (713.08 males and 135.26 females), an increase
2
NOTE ON THE MENTAL HOSPITALS IN BURMA
of 21.59 over that of the previous year. Due to the increase in numbers
and consequent overcrowding at the Rangoon Mental Hospital, another
batch of 35 harmless and well-behaved male patients, of which 16
criminals, were transferred to the Tadagale Hospital on the 15th
December 1926. There was no overcrowding at Minbu. The average
population during the year was 133.58 and the largest population on any
one night was 135.
5. Admissions and Discharges.—There were 234 admissions including
24 re-admissions to the Rangoon Mental Hospital (198 males and 36
females). The total number discharged were 114 (93 males and 21
females) ; of these 71 were cured, 30 improved, and 13 discharged
" otherwise." The number under "Cured" was 71 in 1926, 81 in 1925,
and 76 in 1924. The percentage of cured to daily strength was 8.37 in
1926 against 9.68 in 1925 and 9.07 in 1924 and the percentage of cured
amongst admissions was 12.39 in 1926 against 11.33 in 1925 and 16.18
in 1924. The number discharged as " Improved " was 30 in 1926, 28
in 1925 and 22 in 1924. The reluctance of relatives and friends to
undertake the care of " improved" cases, stands in the way of the
discharge of several of these cases from the Mental Hospitals. Three
observation cases were admitted at the Mental Hospital, Minbu, during
the year, one of them was found insane and the other two sane.
Rangoon Town continues to be the main source for admissions of inmates
into the Mental Hospitals. Fifty per cent. of the new admissions were
from Rangoon. The largest number of insanes admitted were from the
cooly and cultivator classes.
Statement V shows that over 73 per cent. of patients admitted were
between 20 and 40 years of age.
Statement VII deals with the supposed causes of insanity of the
patients showing the predisposing and exciting causes. Most of the
cases returned were under " Infective and Toxic Conditions " as in the
previous year.
6. Health and Mortality.—The general health of the patients in
Rangoon Mental Hospitals was good. Except for one imported case of
cholera which occurred in November and 3 cases of chicken-pox (2
males and 1 female), there was no epidemic disease. The solitary
case of cholera was a patient from Mônywa Jail who probably got the
infection during the journey. The case was correctly diagnosed and the
infection did not spread. All cases in the hospital were inoculated
with anti-cholera vaccine shortly before this occurrence. The cases of
chicken-pox were mild. They were segregated and necessary precau-
tions taken against infection. There were 80 cases (60 males and
20 females) of dysentery during the year. All of them recovered under
treatment. There were 46 epileptic patients and 1,604 fits were
recorded. Forty-eight patients were artificially fed with 555 feeds.
FOR THE YEAR 1926.
3
The total number re-vaccinated including staff was 760, of these
252 were successful and 508 failures.
The health of the inmates at the Minbu Hospital remained good
throughout the year. There was no epidemic in the Mental Hospital
though cholera was prevalent in the District.
In Rangoon Mental Hospitals there were 57 deaths (46 males and
11 females) during the year excluding 3 observation cases (1 male and 2
females) against 78 deaths and 5 observation cases in 1925. The daily
average sick was 29.08 (24.16 males and 4.92 females) in 1926 against
77.70 (69.28 males and 8.42 females) in 1925 and 114.99 (98.16
males and 16 83 females) in 1924. Percentage of deaths to daily
average strength was 6.72 in 1926 against 9.43 in 1925 and 12.62
in 1924. Deaths were due to various causes, the chief amongst which
were Tuberculosis of lungs, General Paralysis of the insane, Epilepsy,
Dementia, Heart Disease, Pnuemonia and Disease of Liver which
together accounted for 37 deaths. In Minbu 4 died, all of advanced age.
7. Escapes, Suicides, Injuries and Accidents.—Two escaped, one from
the old Rangoon Hospital and the other from Tadagale. They were,
however, caught the same day within an hour. No suicides, serious injuries
or accidents occurred either at Rangoon or at Minbu, during the year.
8. Sanitation and Conservancy.—The cells, cottages and dormitories
are washed daily with saponified cresol and other steps are also taken
to keep all buildings clean, and free from bugs and vermin. Every care is
taken to keep the latrines clean. Coal tar and crude oil are freely
used, all pillars are coal-tarred and drains thoroughly cleaned and flushed
with water and saponified cresol. Fly lotion, i.e. sodii arsenite with
jaggery, is continued to be employed very effectively in destroying flies.
Rubbish was collected in bins kept at convenient spots. In Rangoon
the Conservancy Department of the Rangoon Corporation continues to
remove the night soil. In Tadagale, disposal of sewage is by the water-
borne system into a septic tank and from there through filtration beds
on to a sewage farm. In Minbu the latrines are always kept clean and
free from smell by the use of dry sand and removal thrice daily.
Seats
are scraped and smeared with crude oil weekly.
9. Garden and Dairy.—Garden
and Dairy are self-supporting in
Rangoon. A sufficient quantity of vegetables of good quality and variety
is produced. These supplied the requirements of the patients throughout
the year. The cost of the garden was Rs. 13,394-14-5 towards which a
sum of Rs. 655-14-3 was realised by the sale of vegetables to the staff
and the public.
The cost of milk supplied to the patients was
Rs. 3,207-7-0. Milk worth Rs. 6,172-10-0 was sold to the staff and the
public.
The expenditure on cattle diet was Rs. 6,287-2-0.
No cattle
were bought or sold during the year.
The value of vegetable produce issued to patients in Minbu was
about Rs. 570 and of that sold to the public Rs. 999.

NOTE ON THE MENTAL HOSPITALS IN BURMA
10. Diet.—There has been no alteration in the scale of diet. Varieties
of food were supplied within the cost of sanctioned scale. A special
diet of " Palaw," i.e., Ghee rice cooked with flesh, was given on Festival
days, the extra cost being met from the Donation Fund. The supply
of fresh vegetables from the gardens in the Asylums at Rangoon and
Minbu was sufficient in quantity and good in quality and went a long
way in maintaining sound health of the inmates.
In Rangoon the raw and cooked rations were examined and passed
by the Deputy Superintendent.
11. Amusement and Recreation.—Every attempt is made to break the
monotony of life which must inevitably exist in these institutions
by having monthly pwēs, the use of gramophones in each of the
sections. The Civil Police and Railway Bands played once a month
during the dry season. Annual Sports were held and the sports day
was made as enjoyable as possible for the inmates. The successful
competitors were awarded small money prizes, sweets and fruits.
, Band instruments were provided and they were used by the patients
on Sundays and holidays. English and Burmese news and illustrated
papers, kindly supplied gratis by the public, were circulated among the
patients as also a supply of Burmese story books and novels. Well-
behaved patients were allowed to go under proper escort to Churches,
Pagodas and Bioscopes and also to visit their friends and relatives.
Games.—Indoor and Out-door games were encouraged. Cigars and
Cigarettes were supplied. On Sundays and Festival days Sayadaw U
Nyaneinda of Zedawun Monastery, Bahan, preached to the Buddhist
patients. At Minbu the " Mental Hospital Day " was celebrated during
the Christmas week when sports were held with a pwē in attendance.
Gramophone entertainments were also frequently given. The inmates
were allowed to attend the Pagoda Festivals and the local Pôngyi gave
sermons on Sabbath days.
Thanks are due to the undernoted for their kind donations of money
and gifts towards the Donation Fund of the Hospital :—

12. Employment.—The daily average number of inmates employed in
various works at the Rangoon Mental Hospital was 339.48 (310.65 males
and 28.83 females) and at the New Mental Hospital at Tadagale 92.67.
No force is used to make the patients work, but every effort and persua-
sion is used to try and keep them occupied in some way or other so as to
ensure good health. Those not willing and dements are exercised
for an hour morning and evening. Stipends, as far as available, were
given to all working inmates as an encouragement, the rate being graded
from 1 anna to Re. 1. Males and females were employed in cell and
cottage cleaning, sweeping, compound cleaning, grass weeding and jungle
clearing and in rendering assistance in generally helping and bathing the
helpless and demented patients, food distribution, tailoring and washing
clothes. The females do rice cleaning alone and the male inmates all
the other kinds of work such as, attending on cattle, carpentry, paddy
grinding, water carrying, road making, weaving, etc. In Minbu the
major portion of the inmates were kept employed in gardening, weaving,
tailoring, cleaning, paddy grinding and in general cleaning of the
Hospital premises. The work was of a light nature sufficient to give
the inmates enough exercise to keep them in good healthy condition.
On an average about 35 were employed. Daily issue of tobacco, fort-
nightly stipends and occasional distribution of special food, fruits and
sweets were the inducements offered to keep the inmates engaged in
work and contented.
13. Treatment.—On admission, every case is kept segregated and under
close observation in a cell and every effort is made to afford them quiet
and perfect rest. After a careful and thorough examination, they are
treated, if necessary, on lines requiring attention in any ailment detected.
The patients are regularly and carefully dieted. Artificial feeding is
only resorted to when efforts to induce a patient to take sufficient amount
of food fails. Care is taken to ensure a maximum amount of sleep and,
when necessary, suitable drugs are used for this purpose. Paraldehyde,
Sulphonal and Trinol were, in agitated and over-excited cases, found to
be most suitable, while Bromide alone or at times combined with Chloral
Hydras are used in milder cases. Hyosine Hydrobromide injections
being reserved for very excited and agitated cases, when they fail to
respond to the above treatment. This combined with strict personal
hygiene and suitable occupation in the convalescent stages has proved
useful. At Minbu no special line of treatment is adopted as the patients
are mostly harmless and old.
14. Water Supply.—The Mental Hospitals in Rangoon and Minbu had
their supply of water from the Municipal water works. At the New
Mental Hospital at Tadagale the source of water supply is from 3 Tube
Wells. In Rangoon well water, which is also available, was used for
washing clothes, garden and cattle-washing. Water was sufficient in
quantity and good in quality.
6 NOTE ON THE MENTAL HOSPITALS IN BURMA FOR THE YEAR 1926.
15. Bedding and Clothing.—The weaving department manufactured all
the clothes worn and used by patients, keepers and servants. No cloth
was purchased during the year under review. Every effort is made to
keep the bedding and clothing clean and free from vermin. The arrange-
ments for washing clothes were as satisfactory as can be expected under
existing circumstances. In Minbu, clothing and bedding were sufficient
and quite good to keep the inmates comfortable during all seasons.
16. Manufacture.—Weaving
continued to be the main industry both
in Rangoon and in Minbu Mental Hospitals.
Stipends are paid to the inmates employed as loomshed workers but
owing to the large numbers qualifying for stipends the amount per head
has become very small. An additional grant for weavers' stipends has
therefore been sanctioned with effect from the 1st April 1926 on the
scale given below :—
(1) For weavers and big chas workers.—A stipend commencing
from Re. 1 by annual increments of As, 4 to Rs. 3.
(2) For comb workers.—A stipend commencing from As. 6 by
annual increments of As. 2 to Re. 1.
(3) For small chas workers and bobin workers.—A stipend com-
mencing from As. 2 by annual increments of Anna one to As. 8.
(4) For general assistants for rolling twist and helping other loom
workers.—A stipend commencing from As. 4 by annual increments of
As. 2 to Re. 1.
17. Finance.—The
total expenditure in the Mental Hospitals in
Rangoon and Minbu in 1926 was Rs. 3,36,229 as compared with
Rs. 3,78,979 in 1925. The decrease is mainly in the amount remitted
into the Treasury on account of paying patients during the year. There
has been no decrease in the number of these patients ; but payments were
received late, because the Head Clerk was ill and failed to send out the
bills. It is understood that large sums of money on this account have
been received since the commencement of 1927.
18. Committee of Visitors.—The Committee met each month and 3
members in rotation were selected to visit the New Hospital at Tadagale.
Attendance was satisfactory.
19. Staff.—Major H. A. H. Robson, M.B., I.M.S., was the Superinten-
dent and Major E. A. Picachy, I.M.D., was the Deputy Superintendent
of the Mental Hospital at Rangoon.
Lieutenant E. H. O'Leary, I.M.D., was the Deputy Superintendent
of the Tadagale Hospital throughout the year. Dr. K. R. Menon was in
charge of the Mental Hospital, Minbu, throughout the year. I cannot
but speak highly of the work of these officers.
