General.—The non-official visitors took keen interest in the
welfare of the patients especially Mrs. Bharucha whose name is
worthy of special mention in this connection. As a result of her
untiring efforts and indefatigable zeal she secured free weekly
entertainments for mental patients at 5 local leading Cinema
Halls.
Patients really enjoyed the Cinema shows, and the
diversion proved of immense benefit to their mental condition.
Mrs. Bharucha also provided silk and en broidered clothes to the
Cinema-going patients, and has further placed a sum of Rs. 50
at the disposal of the Medical Superintendent for providing
additional comforts to patients. This is indeed an invaluable
gift especially as she has asked the Medical Superintendent to get
the money recouped from her as often as considered necessary.
Thanks of Government are due to Mrs. Bharucha for the deep
sympathy and the time and money she has spent to make the lot
of these unfortunate patients happier and more comfortable.
Staff.—The general conduct of members of the staff has been
maintained at a high level and disciplinary action was taken
against a few dilinquent attendants only. Two appointments
of House Physicians which were sanctioned in the year 1940
were filled during the year under report.
Acknowledgments.—There were many changes in the adminis-
trative staff of the hospital during the year under report. Dr.
Hardy was Medical Superintendent of the hospital from 1st
January to 10th July, 1941, when he was relieved by Dr. P. N..
Dogra who held the charge till 22nd November, 1941. Dr. Ahmad
Shaffi, Deputy Medical Superintendent, was appointed to hold the
additional charge till the arrival of the permanent Medical Super-
intendent who did not join before the close of the year.
