Proceedings of the Punjab Government, in the Medical

1941.
READ.—The report of the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab,
on the working of the Punjab Mental Hospital, Lahore, for the
year 1940.
Remarks—The provision of additional accommodation,
both in the male and female section of the hospital, has
resulted in an increase in admissions and in the number of
cases treated. The total number of patients admitted , in-
cluding re-admissions, during the year under report, was 331
(274 males and 57 females) against 262 (230 males and 32
females) in 1939—an increase of 69. The total number of
patients treated in the hospital in 1940 was 1,366 (1,094 males
and 272 females) compared with 1,299 (1,055 males and 244
females) in the preceding year. There was a corresponding
increase in the daily average strength which rose from
1,037.65 in 1939 to 1,090.84 in the year under review. The
maximum number of patients under treatment on any one
night was 1,151 (921 males and 230 females) against 1,058
(843 males and 215 females) in the previous year. The
capacity of the hospital, computed at a minimum of 70
square feet per patient, is 1,408 patients (males 1,126 and
females 282).
The additional accommodation includes three new bar-
racks capable of taking 300 patients in the male section and
a double-storeyed block for 100 patients in the female sec-
tion of the hospital.
2. The health statistics reveal an all round improvement.
The daily average number of sick during the year under
report was 40.06 compared with 63.06 in 1939. The total
number of deaths in the hospital was 31 against 47 in the
previous year. The death rate was 2.84 per cent on the
daily average strength and 2.42 on the new admissions in
1940 compared with 4.52 and 5.72, respectively, in the
preceding year. The death rate would have been still lower
but for an unfortunate outbreak of colitis—due to food
poisoning—in the female section. This cause accounted for 5
deaths.
Pneumonia claimed the
largest number of
victims—6 deaths. There was no case of suicide or escape,
although a considerable amount of freedom was afforded to
patients. There was one case of assault, in which one con-
vict (who had almost recovered from insanity and was
shortly to be transferred to a jail to undergo the unexpired
portion of imprisonment) attacked another criminal patient
2
with fatal results. The attack was prompted by a personal
grudge.
3. Excluding the amount received from the treasury
and book receipts, the total real receipts amounted to
Rs. 2,61,137 in 1940, compared with Rs. 2,56,603 in 1939.
Receipts from paying patients have risen from Rs. 26,866
to Rs. 31,775 and miscellaneous receipts from Rs. 476 to
Rs, 5,705. The recoveries from local bodies have fallen by
about Rs. 3,000. On the expenditure side there has been
a considerable increase in the cost of diet (Rs. 1,20,172
compared with Rs. 1,06,119 in 1939), clothing and bedding,
bazar medicines and establishment. The net cost to Gov-
ernment on the maintenance of the hospital, after deduct-
ing recoveries made from local bodies, paying patients,
miscellaneous receipts, etc., etc., works out at Rs. 60,265-11-9
against Rs. 54,125-4-0 in the preceding year. This increase is
natural as a larger number of patients has been admitted
and treated in the hospital. The cost per head amounts
to Rs. 294-10-3 in the year under review compared with
Rs. 299-7-3 in 1939.
4. The cost of maintenance per patient recoverable
from ordinary paying patients and other provinces was
raised from Rs. 20 to Rs. 25 per mensem with effect
from 1st January, 1940, and is stated to be sufficient for
covering the expenditure that has to be incurred.
5. Dr. Ram Singh Sharma, P.C.M.S., was Medical
Superintendent of the hospital throughout the year and
Dr. David Satyanand, P.C.M.S., was the Deputy Medical
Superintendent.
Order.— Ordered that a copy of the report and of the
review be forwarded to the Government of India, Home
Department, for information, also that the review be pub-
lished in the Punjab Gazette.
Ordered also that a copy of the review be forwarded
to the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab, for
information.

To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, PUNJAB
MEDICAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
DEPARTMENTS, LAHORE.
Dated Lahore, the 21st March, 1941.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to forward, herewith, the annual
report on the working of the Punjab Mental Hospital,
Lahore, for the year 1940, together with the statistical
tables.
I have the honour to be,
SIR ,
Your most obedient servant,
P. B. BHARUCHA,
COLONEL, I.M.S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab.
Report on the working of the Punjab Mental Hospital,
Lahore for the year 1940.
1. There is an all round increase in the work done in
the Punjab Mental Hospital during the year under report,
viz., in the total number of patients treated, new patients
admitted, daily average attendance and the maximum num-
ber of patients on any one night.
2. Statement I. (a)—Admissions.—The total number of
patients treated in the hospital during the year 1940 was 1,366
(1,094 males and 272 females) as against 1,299 (1,055 males
and 244 females) in the previous year. The total number of
patients admitted including re-admissions during the year
under report was 331 (274 males and 57 females) as against
262 (230 males and 32 females) in 1939 giving an increase of
69. There was also a corresponding increase in the daily
average strength which was 1090.84 in 1940 as against
1,037.65 in 1939. The maximum number of patients under
treatment on any one night was 1,151 (921 males and 230
females) as against 1,058 (843 males and 215 females) in the
previous year, whereas the accommodation is available for
l,408 patients (1,126 males and 282 females).
3. The increase in the number of patients treated or admitt-
ed for treatment is no cause for alarm as it does not necessari-
ly mean an outbreak of any Psychetric disease or that more
people were suffering from mental disorders than in the
previous years. The increase is due to the fact that more ac-
commodation has been provided for the admission of mental
patients in the hospital by the erection of 3 new barracks
for 300 patients in the male section and a double storeyed
block for 100 patients in the female section of the hospital
and patients who were refused admission to the hospital for
lack of accommodation in previous years, are now being
admitted in large numbers.
4. (b) Discharges.—The total number of patients dis-
charged from the hospital was 207 (171 males and 36 fe-
males) during the year under report as against 217 (195
males and 22 females) in 1939. Of the total number of 207
patients discharged 117 were cured, 27 improved, 42 not im-
proved and 21 otherwise and the corresponding figures for
the year 1939 were 112, 38, 40 and 27 respectively. It is
gratifying to record that the percentage of cured cases
has increased in that the total number of cases cured is
2
more than in the previous years though the total number
of those discharged is less.
The decrease in the total
number of discharged cases is attributable to the fact
that in the previous years harmless, chronic and demented
patients were discharged for want of accommodation but
as there was no such difficulty in the year under report
lesser number of patients were discharged.
5. (c) Sickness and mortality.—The general health of
patients was good throughout the year and there was no
outbreak of epidemic disease except of a severe type of
colitis in the female section due to food poisoning which
resulted in 5 deaths.
The daily average number of sick during the year 1940
was 40.06 as compared with 63.06 in 1939. The total number
of deaths in the hospital was 31 as against 47 in the previous
year. Of 31 deaths 2 were due to dysentery, 6 to pneu-
monia, 5 to colitis and 3 each to T. B. of Lungs, Debility,
Status Epilepticus and the remaining 9 to various other
causes. The death rate was 2.84 per cent on the daily
average strength and 2.42 on the new admissions as against
4.52 and 5.72 in the preceding year. The death rate was
very much lower as compared with the previous year and it
redounds to the credit of the medical officers. It would have
been still lower but for the severe type of colitis which
occurred in the female section.
6. Suicides, Escapes and Deaths by violenee.—There was
no suicide or escape although considerable amount of free-
dom was afforded to patients. This reflects great credit on
the attendant staff employed on watch and ward and the
high sense of discipline maintained by the Medical Superin-
tendent. There was only one case of assault in which one
sane convict assaulted another criminal patient fatally
against whom he had personal grudge. The patient died in
the Mayo Hospital where he was admitted for treatment.
7. Statement II.—The year under report opened with
no case under observation. Seventy cases were admitted
for observation during the course of the year and of these 66
were certified as insane and admitted to the hospital while 4
were released as uncertified. The corresponding figures for
the previous year were 2 left over from the year 1938, 61
admitted in 1939 of whom 19 were certified as insane, 12
were released as uncertified and 2 died.
3
8. Statement III.—Of the total number of 1,366 patients
treated during the year under report 232 were criminals
(223 males and 9 females) as against 231 criminals (226 males
and 5 females) in 1939 out of the total number of 1,299 treat-
ed in that year.
9. Statement IV.—This statement is self-explanatory and
the figures of new admissions in 1940 of the different com-
munities are compared with those of the previous years.
10. Statement V.—Compared with the year 1939 there
was an increase in the number of patients admitted of all
ages except of those under 20 years of age who were 27 in
1940 as against 28 in the previous year. The largest number
of patients admitted was as usual between 20 to 40 years of
age.
11. Statement VI.—The principal types of insanity
among the patients admitted in 1940 and 1939 are com-
pared below : —
Manic Depressive Insanity ..
Schizophrenia including
Dementia
Praecox.
Secondary Dementia ..
Mental Deficiency ..
Epilepsy and Epileptic insanity ..
Mania ..
Paranoia and Paranoid States ..
Cannabis Indica Psychosis ..

12. Statement VII. —There is no important variation to
record in the probable cause of insanity in the patients ad-
mitted to the hospital in 1940 as compared with the previous
year.
13. Statement VIII.—Receipts.—The
receipts under
different heads during the years 1938, 1939 and 1940 are
compared in the statement. Excluding the amounts received
from treasury and book receipts the total real receipts
amounted to Rs. 2,61,137 in 1940 as against Rs. 2,56,603
in 1939. There is an appreciable increase in the amount
received from paying patients. The total
amount was
Rs. 31,775 in 1940 as against Rs. 26,866 in the pre-
vious year. The miscellaneous receipts went up from
4
Rs. 476 in 1939 to Rs. 5,705 during the year under report.
As compared with the year 1939 there is a drop of about
Rs. 3,000 each under recoveries from local bodies, etc.,
and value of stores received from the manufacturing de-
partments of the hospital less cost of raw materials.
14. (b) Expenditure.—Excluding the sum of Rs. 2,38,965
which represents the amount credited to Government on
account of recoveries from paying patients and local bodies
as against Rs. 2,31,584 in 1939 which are virtually the
items of receipts and have been shown on Expenditure side
as a matter of form the total expenditure incurred on the
maintenance of the hospital went up from Rs. 3,57,493 to
Rs. 3,75,443 in the year under report. The increase is chiefly
under the pay of establishment due to periodical increments
and under diet, clothing of patients and bazar medicines
which are due to the larger number of patients treated and
the equipment of new wards.
15. (c) Cost of maintenance per head.—The net cost to
Government on the maintenance of this hospital after de-
ducting the recoveries made from local bodies, paying
patients, miscellaneous receipts, garden products, other
manufactures and the expenditure on original works, comes
to Rs. 60,265-11-9 as against Rs. 54,125-4-0 in the previous
year. The per capita cost of maintenance works out at
Rs. 294-10-3 as against Rs. 299-7-3 in 1939. The cost of
maintenance per patient recovered from ordinary paying
patients and other provinces which was raised from Rs. 20
to Rs. 25 per mensem per head from 1st January, 1940,
fully covers the expenditure.
