Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, West Punjab
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, PUNJAB, MEDICAL AND
LOCAL GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS
Dated Lahore, the 18th of May 1947
SIR
I HAVE the honour to forward, herewith, the statistical tables of the Punjab Mental
Hospital, Lahore, for the year 1946, and to make the following observations :—
Statement I—Population—On 1st January 1946, there were 1,243 patients (947
men and 296 women) under treatment in the Punjab Mental Hospital. During the course
of the year, 326 patients were admitted and 34 re-admitted making the total number
treated 1,603 as against 1,538 during the preceding year. The daily average population
in the hospital was 1,239.88 during the year under report against 1,231.78 in the year
1945. The maximum number of patients under treatment in the hospital on any one
night was 1,268 as against 1,257 during 1945.
Voluntary Boarders—During the year under report 26 patients (19 men and 7
women) were admitted to the hospital as voluntary boarders as against only 2 in the year
1945. The concession of free treatment was availed of by 2 patients.
Sickness and Mortality—There were 90 deaths during the year 1946, as against
87 in the previous year.
The main causes of death were :—
Debility .. .. .. .. ..
Diarrhœa .. .. .. .. ..
Malaria
..
..
..
..
..
Dysentery .. .. .. .. ..

The percentage of deaths to daily average strength was 7.25 as against 7.06 in 1945.
The percentage of total deaths to admissions was a little higher than the previous year,
i.e., 5.83 in 1946 and 5.09 in 1945. There had been an increase in the daily average of
sick which was 81.10 during the year under report as against 75.21 in the previous year.
Suicide, deaths by violence, escapes, etc.—It is gratifying to note that there was no
case of escape, suicide or death by violence during the year under review.
Discharges—The total number of patients discharged during the year under report
was 277 as against 208 in the previous year. Of the number discharged, 172 were cured,
34 improved, 56 not improved and 15 discharged otherwise. The percentage of patients
discharged as cured to new admissions was 28.33 in the year 1946, as against 17.51
in 1945, and the percentage of cured to daily average strength was 13.87 as against 8.19
during the last year. This rise in the cure percentage is primarily the result of modern
physical methods of treatment of mental disorders introduced in this institution, in
particular Electric Convulsion Therapy, Insulin Coma treatment, Modified Insulin treat-
ment, Narco-Analysis, etc.
The hospital possesses an Electric Convulsion Therapy Apparatus and the advantages
of treatment with this machine are considerable as compared with other methods of treat-
2
ment. The chief advantages are the insignificant cost of treatment as compared with
drugs, almost no or negligible risk, prompt disposal of a number of cases as many as 30
or more patients being treated in an hour, and practically no ill effects. The results of this
treatment have been very encouraging in suitable cases, as it accelerated their discharge
from hospital; in other cases there was a general improvement in physical health, dis-
carrding of the feeding (some cases having been tube fed for years) and general improve-
ment in cases with filthy habits or destructive. Thus not only a re-orientation of treat-
ment of hospital patients has been brought about by instituting modern methods of
treatment but full opportunity has also been availed of to train the staff of the hospital in
the different methods of special treatment.
The following statement showing the
results of such treatments will demonstrate the accelerated recovery rate and the increasing
popularity of the institution as a treatment centre in contradistinction to the previously
hold idea of this institution being an Asylum only.

Statement II—During the course of the year 110 patients were admitted for observa-
tion out of which 91 were certified and admitted in the hospital while 8 wore discharged
as uncertified and 10 died while under observation and one certified but discharged under
section 14 of the Indian Lunacy Act. Deaths in the observation cases were due to the
fact that these cases were brought to the hospital in a very bad state of physical health.
Statement III—In the beginning of the year 1946, there were 167 criminal patients
under treatment in the Hospital. There were 58 admissions and are re-admissions with
4 deaths and 45 transfers and discharges during the year, leaving 176 patients of this class
under treatment at the end of the year.

128, Europeans and Anglo-Indians 6, Indian Christians 3 and other castes 2.

Statement VII—The exciting and predisposing causes of the mental illness in
the 360 admissions and re-admissions are shown in this statement.
Statement VIII—A sum of Rs. 2,20,090 was recovered under the head ''Recoveries
from the Local Bodies" as against Rs. 2,05,080, and Rs. 65,990 were recovered under the
head "Receipts from paying patients" against Rs. 66,496 in the year 1945, respectively.
The hospital garden and manufactory yielded a profit of Rs. 54,215 as against
Rs. 41,170 in the previous year.
The total expenditure on the maintenance of the hospital during the year under
report amounted to Rs. 8,33,828 as against Rs. 6,46,246 during the previous year. The
excess in the expenditure is mainly due to the following reasons :—
(i) Appointment of an I.M.S. Officer as Medical Superintendent of the Hospi-
tal. This report was formerly held by a P.C.M.S. Officer.
(ii) Revision of grades of P.C.M.S. Officers and Ministerial staff, grant of Cor-
poration allowance and arrears on account of increase in dearness
allowance, etc.
(iii) Increase in the tendered rates of ration, etc., and arrears of 50,000 relating
to 1945 drawn and adjusted by the Accountant-General in 1946.
(iv) Purchase of blankets and other clothing which were not available last year
owing to war, from the Military Department during the year 1946.
(v) Purchase of more medicines for special treatment, etc.
The per capita cost rose from Rs. 524-10-6 in 1945 to Rs. 672-8-0 in 1946.
General—The Medical Superintendent, Punjab Mental Hospital, Lahore, has great-
ly stressed the need for the appointment or at least 2 Psychiatrists in the hospital to carry
out adequately modern and up-to-date mental treatment of patients. This proposal is
being submitted to Government separately.
Another proposal for the opening of a Psychiatric Unit in the Mayo Hospital,
Lahore, is also under consideration. The proposed unit is intended to afford treatment
for early mental cases and is designed to overcome the public prejudice prevalent against
admission of cases to hospital as required under the Indian Lunacy Act.
His Excellency the Governor of the Punjab on the occasion of his visit to the Punjab
Mental Hospital, Lahore, on the 19th July 1946, observed that accommodation for both
men and women mental patients was very inadequate.
In this connection His Ex-
cellency suggested a number of measures one of which was to provide separate accommoda-
tion at some suitable place for harmless dements, both men and women, who could not be
cured or improved but who simply required humane attention for the rest of their lives.
This suggestion of His Excellency the Governor was considered and it was decided that
4
the estabishment of a separate colony for the mental defectives was necessary on medical
grounds as well as cases showing improvement or early cases should not be allowed to mix
up with defective and chronic dements. It was, therefore, proposed to establish a colony
for the mental defectives in the buildings of the Dhangu Camp (near Pathankote) which
belonged to the Military Department. A sum of Rs. 2,11,000 was provided in the year
1946 for the purpose and the buildings have been purchased from the Military Depart-
ment. Steps are now being taken for the acquisition of the land on which the camp
stands in order to carry out necessary additions and alterations to the buildings for
housing the harmless chronic and defective patients.
Acknowledgments—Thanks
are due to K. B. Dr. Ghulam Mohammad, P.C.M.S.
(Retd.), and Lt.-Colonel R. M. Lloyd Still, I.M.S., who held charge of the institution from
1st January 1946 to 25th May 1946 and from 27th May 1946 to 31st December 1946, res-
pectively, and to Dr. Abdul Haq, P.C.M.S., Deputy Medical Superintendent, and other
staff who efficiently assisted in the administration of the hospital.
