Report
ON THE WORKING OF THE
Mental Hospitals in Burma
FOR THE YEAR
1927
1. No change in the existing buildings was made during the year.
The state of the older wooden buildings a noted in last year's report
continues to be unsatisfactory.
The newer wooden cottages and brick buildings are better, but
cannot be regarded as satisfactory.
2. Accommodation.—The accommodation at the Mental Hospitals
was for 1,821 (males 1,409, females 274) in Rangoon and males 138 at
Minbu. There is accommodation for 275 sick in Rangoon (males 202,
females 73) and this includes eight beds for males and eight for females
for tubercular cases and 24 (12 males and 12 females) cells in which
dysentery patients can be segregated.
At Tadagale, there is a contagious diseases ward which will accom-
modate eight patients. There was nowhere any overcrowding; but
the five cells (brick walled and with cement flooring) for dangerous
and noisy lunatics should be padded.
3. Population,—The population at St. John's Road Hospital, Rangoon,
at the beginning of the year was 687 (549 males, 138 females).
At Tadagale 186 males were accommodated.
The highest number confined on any single occasion was : Rangoon
624 (486 males, 138 females); Tadagale 324 males ; Minbu 131 males.
The total average at the two Rangoon Hospitals was 922.80 (784.89
males, 137.91 females). At Minbu the average population was 129.75.
During the year, 138 patients were transferred to Tadagale from Rangoon.
4. Admission.—There were 276 admissions during the year (this
includes 19 re-admissions), 245 males, 31 females.
One hundred and thirty-four patients (113 males, 21 females) were
discharged; of these 88 were reported cured; 33 improved ; 13
otherwise.
2
REPORT ON THE WORKING OF THE MENTAL HOSPITALS IN BURMA
In 1925, the number discharged cured was 80, in 1926, 71, and
1927, 88. Discharged improved were 28 in 1925 ; 30 in 1926 ; 33 in
1927. Friends or relatives will not come forward to accept the risk
and trouble that is involved in caring for mental patients in their own
homes.
Minbu Hospital admitted six observation cases, four were found to
be insane, two were discharged.
Forty-seven per cent. of all admissions are from Rangoon and are
usually of the cultivator class.
5. Statement V shows that 75 per cent. of all admitted are between
20 and 40 years of age.
6. Statement VI shows the various factors which contributed to
mental breakdown in patients during 1927.
During the year, 276 insanes were admitted to Rangoon Hospital—
13 were due to hereditary predisposition, 37 had had previous attacks, 4
were in addition blind, 2 were cases of puerperal insanity and 19 were
associated with a sudden mental stress, such as loss of property or near
relations, 37 were associated with excessive indulgence in alcohol,
whether as a cause or an associated symptom is not stated. In many of
these cases, alcohol is probably the exciting cause, in otherwise pre-
disposed subjects. Twenty-three were drug addicts. Opium, cocaine
and cannabis indica are all noted as associated factors. Acquired syphilis
is responsible for 10 male patients, the disease acting as an exciting
cause resulting in impaired health and vascular degeneration. No
ascertainable cause is assigned for 32 male patients ; the information
obtainable is scanty in most cases, but in certain cases nothing at all is
known about past habits or family history. Considering the remarkable
prevalence of venereal diseases in Rangoon, the proportion of cases of
neuro-syphilis which results in mental failure is small, this is to be
anticipated in a population largely engaged in manual labour. There are
32 cases of epilepsy, the pathology of which is unknown. There were 45
imbeciles, the imbecility probably due to congenital mental deficiency.
Mania in a recurrent form greatly outweighs melancholia, but 45 cases
of mania are shown as recovered sufficiently to enable them to be
discharged. Eleven cases of mania and 7 of melancholia are associated
with old age. The admission of males is about 9 times that of females
(271 males to 31 females). There are no doubt economic reasons for
this. The actual proportion of male and female insanes to the general
population is about equal, but as the men are more troublesome to look
after they are sent to an asylum.
The general health was good. There was no epidemic during the
year. There were however 77 cases of dysentery (72 of them men), of
whom 8 died (elderly and infirm men). Eighty-nine per cent. of all
FOR THE YEAR 1927.
3
cases recovered under treatment and careful nursing. All dysentery
cases are segregated for two months after recovery.
There were 32 epileptics and 913 fits were observed and recorded,
and 39 patients were artificially fed. All newly admitted cases were
vaccinated. The whole population (including staff) were re-vaccinated
during 1926. At Minbu, the general health was good throughout the
year. There was no epidemic disease in the institution, though cholera
and plague were prevalent outside in town and district.
There were 56 deaths (48 males and 8 females), and 9 cases for
observation, brought in a very weak state, died (7 males and 2 females),
this compares with 57 deaths and 3 deaths (observation cases) in 1926.
The daily average sick was 42.20 in 1927 ; 29.08 in 1926 ; 77.70 in
1925. Percentage of deaths to average population 6.07 in 1927 ;
6.72 in 1926 ; 9.43 in 1925.
Dysentery, pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, exhaustion from
dementia and nephritis, accounted for most of the deaths.
Two deaths at Minbu were due to senility.
7. Escapes, Accidents, Suicides.—There were two escapes, one from
Rangoon and one from Tadagale. The first was brought back from
Shwebo by the Police after 18 days, and the second is still at large. The
Eastern Subdivisional Magistrate held an enquiry into the cause of death
in a demented case who died as the result of a chicken bone which lodged
in his throat (this office No. 11798—L.A.-3, dated July 3rd, 1927, to the
Secretary, Judicial Department).
8. Sanitation.—The walls of all cells were scraped and treated with
earth-oil. Wooden floors were treated with kerosine to dislodge bugs,
where there was any reason to suspect their presence.
Tar and crude oil were issued for latrines. Jaggery fly lotion
containing sodium arsenite was freely used to destroy flies and has been
most effective.
Dustbins are used for rubbish, and these and the latrines are
regularly conserved.
At Tadagale, a waterborne sewage system is in use, thence sewage
is carried through filtration beds to a sewage farm.
At Minbu, a dry earth system is in use ; clean dry sand is used and
the material removed three times daily.
9. Gardens and Dairy are both self-supporting, the vegetables
produced supplied all requirements in the asylums and fetched by sales
to staff and public Rs. 15,384-0-4. The value of the vegetables issued to
patients was Rs. 14,462-4-4 and of those sold Rs. 921.
The cattle cost more to feed this year, for a large number of calves
too young to sell could not be got rid of. Receipts from cattle were
6,868 and expenditure Rs. 5,672.

REPORT ON THE WORKING OF THE MENTAL HOSPITALS IN BURMA
10. Diets.—There was no general change in diet. Variety within the
sanctioned scale of expenditure was aimed at. Milk, soup and eggs
were issued as extras. On festival days, a special diet of palaw and
fruits was issued. Raw and cooked rations were examined daily and
passed by the Deputy Superintendent.
11. Amusement and Recreation.—A gramophone is supplied to each
section ; pwès are occasionally held, and a band plays once a month
during the dry season at the cost of the Corporation of Rangoon.
Annual sports were held this year and successful competitors were
given small money prizes. A special diet is issued on all these occasions
as well as on special religious festivals. Various journals and news-
papers were circulated with beneficial results.
Certain patients go under escort to churches, pagodas and bioscopes,
and a few visit friends. Chinlon, football and badminton are played
every day.
U Nyaneinda visited the Minbu Hospital on Sundays and festival
days and preached to those who listen to him. The following made
gifts of money or in kind towards the hospital:—

Cakes, sweets, ducks, fowls

All aerated waters for the
Annual Sports.
12. Employment.—The daily average employed on work at the
Rangoon Hospital was 370 (males 341, females 29), at Tadagale 112.
Labour is however not compulsory. Those able to do so and refusing to
work were made to walk morning and evening as exercise. Money
rewards varying from annas 2 to Rs. 1-4-0, depending on the nature of
work done, are given to encourage a useful and healthy occupation.
Sweeping, cleaning of compound, weeding, and jungle-cutting occupy the
majority. Others assist in bathing helpless and demented patients, in
distributing food, in washing clothes and cooking. The men in addition
do carpentry, paddy-grinding, water-carrying and look after the asylum
cattle. In Minbu, the inmates are employed in gardening, weaving.
tailoring, paddy-grinding. The work was enough to maintain them in
good condition. There was a daily issue of tobacco.
13. Cases, on admission, go to observation cells and a thorough and
careful examination follows. Artificial feeding is used only in the last
resort, when every effort to induce the patient to take food fails.
FOR THE YEAR 1927.
5
paraldehyde, sulphonal and trional were the most generally used drugs
for treatment. A few cases needed hyoscine injections, where excite-
ment was extreme. Strict personal hygiene and a suitable occupation
were the chief factors in treatment. Water for drinking, for washing
and the garden is derived from wells in both hospitals. At Tadagale, 2
tube wells out of 4 borings have been in use. One failed, the 12 inches
casing pipe having broken 200 feet below the surface, hence water
consumption was reduced as far as possible. The fourth boring proved
a failure and the Superintendent reports that the third well is not likely
ever to work.
14. Bedding.—The patients made all their own clothing as well as
the uniform of female keepers and servants. The change into khaki
uniform necessitated purchase of materials during the year. The bed
sheets used by different sections were differently coloured to distinguish
them. A distinct dress was made for dysentery and itch cases. The
patients, in addition, were given this year a bi-weekly change of clothing
as a routine measure. Bedding was daily aired and exposed to sun-
light when it was available. The arrangements for washing clothes and
linen are on the whole satisfactory.
15. Weaving was the main industry in Rangoon and Minbu.
16. Finance.—The cash account of the Mental Hospitals in Burma
for the year 1927 showed Rs. 1,18,919 under receipts and Rs. 3,42,250
under expenditure as against Rs. 41,097 and Rs. 3,11,954 respectively in
1926. The increase under receipts is due to arrears collected as indica-
ted in last year's report. The actual rise of expenditure (Rs. 30,296) is
mainly due to a sum of Rs. 15,000 expended in purchasing furniture,
equipment, crockery, etc., for the Tadagale Mental Hospital and to
another sum of Rs. 5,000 in providing the keepers' establishment and
the servants with khaki uniform and kit. Sanction to an increase of
staff of the Rangoon Mental Hospital and to a revision of pay was
accorded during the year, to take effect from the date of the move
to Tadagale.
17. The average cost of each insane was Rs. 324 in 1927 against
Rs. 318 in 1926.
18. It has recently been suggested that the full cost of maintenance
shall be borne by the Local Authority sending the insane to the asylum ;
and Local Governments in India are being circularised with a view to
ascertaining what the practice is there. On receipt of such information,
as may be available, the question of the distribution of the cost of
maintenance on a more equitable basis may well come up for considera-
tion.
