FROM
THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF CIVIL HOSPITALS,
BIHAR AND ORISSA,
To
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF
BIHAR AND ORISSA, LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT
DEPARTMENT.
Dated Patna, the 11th May 1929.
SUBJECT.— Annual Report on the working of the Ranchi Indian Mental Hospital.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit, for the information of Government, the
Superintendent's report on the working of the Ranchi Indian Mental Hospital
during the year 1928, together with the returns in the prescribed form. The
report is very exhaustive and few remarks of mine are necessary.
The Managing Committee has functioned throughout the year and has
proved a considerable asset in the administration of the hospital. I consider
that Major Dhunjibhoy deserves great credit for his efficient administration
and the way in which he has dealt with the difficult problem of
overcrowding.
As a result of Government action in this case, the urgency of the question
of overcrowding has very greatly diminished.
It is a matter of satisfaction that Dr. Jyotirmay Ray, the Assistant
Superintendent, was chosen by the Government of the Central Provinces to be
alienist at their Mental Hospital. Major Dhunjibhoy has been ably seconded
by his staff and I would especially note the good work done by the head clerk,
R. R. Biswas, since the opening of the hospital.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
W. S. WILLMORE,
M.D., M.R.C.P., COL., I.M.S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals,
Bihar and Orissa.
Report on the working of the Ranchi Indian Mental Hospital
for the year 1928.
1. Administration.—During
the year under report, I held charge of the
hospital throughout the period except from the 1st to 8th January 1928, when
I was on leave and the First Assistant Superintendent, Dr. J. Ray, officiated
for me and from the 14th December 1928 (afternoon) up to the end of the
year when I proceeded on deputation to visit the Yeravda Mental Hospital,
Poona and Dr. P. C. Das, officiated.
2. Provinces served.—The hospital continues to receive patients from the
Provinces of Bengal and Bihar and Orissa.
3. Accommodation.—The total accommodation including the infirmaries
of both sections (Male and Female) is :—
Male
...
...
...
...
...
Female
...
...
...
...
...
Total ...
1,014
272
1,286
The accommodation is apportioned in the proportion of three-fourths and
a quarter to Bengal and Bihar and Orissa, respectively.
4. Patients.—The number of patients remaining under treatment on the
1st of January was 1,394 (1,160 males and 234 females).
5. The maximum number resident in the hospital on any one night
was 1,395 (1,161 males and 234 females) against 1,428 (1,196 males and 242
females) in the previous year.
6. Total admissions.—The admissions were 111 (86 males and 25 females)
against 282 (228 males and 54 females) in the previous year.
The decrease is due to the restriction imposed by want of accommodation.
7. Readmissions.—The total readmissions were 5 males as compared
with 12 (11 males and 1 female) in the previous year. Three convicts were
retransferred from jails as insane, but were found sane on arrival at the
hospital. One patient was previously discharged from this hospital as a non-
criminal patient, was admitted as a criminal patient. This was a real
case of relapse.
8. Total population.—1,505 patients (1,246 males and 259 females) were
treated as compared with 1,671 (1,398 males and 273 females) in the previous
year.
9. Daily average strength.—The daily average strength of the hospital
was 1332.41 (1113.91 males and 218.50 females) compared with 1409.53
(1181.54 males and 227.99 females) in 1927.
10. The ratio per cent. of cured to the daily average strength was 8.52
males, 13.73 females, total 9.38 against 15.74 males and 14.04 females, total
15.54 in the previous year.
The ratio per cent. of cures to the total admissions was 30.86 males and
16.00 females, total 27.36 against 30.87 males and 13.20 females, total 27.41,
in the previous year.
11. Percentage of deaths to daily average strength.—There were 46 cases
of death (38 males and 8 females) against 44 (39 males and 5 females) in the
previous year. The percentage of deaths to daily average strength was
3.41 males and 3.66 females, total 3.45 against 3.30 males and 2.20 females
total 3.12, in the previous
year.
