Report
ON THE
Working of the Mental Hospitals
in Burma
For the year 1928.
1. The old Asylum at St. John's Road was finally vacated on the
30th December 1928 and handed over to the Public Works Depart-
ment.
At the new Asylum at Tadagale both accommodation and sanitation
are satisfactory. It must be noted here that the institution is in
difficulty as regards water supply. The tube wells have proved
insufficient, and at present the deficiency is being made good from the
municipal supply. This is, however, a temporary expedient and the
subject of water supply is still under consideration.
Additions and alterations to the quarters of both the Superintendent
and his Deputy were carried out by the Public Works Department.
Concrete beds for all male sections were provided and the old wooden
beds in the female section were replaced by concrete bedsteads. The
portion of the north-western wall which gave way during the rain
storm on the 20th May 1928 was rebuilt with additional safeguards
during the year.
2. Accommodation.—The accommodation at the Mental Hospitals
provided for 1,821 patients ; 1683 (1,409 males, and 274 females) at
Tadagale and 138 (males) at Minbu. This includes a total hospital
accommodation at Tadagale for 129 patients. Separate hospital
accommodation is reserved for dysentery and tubercular cases.
Further, outside the Tadagale Mental Hospital building proper,
there is a corrugated iron building to serve as a Contagious Diseases
Ward with accommodation for 8 beds.
There was no overcrowding.
