WOMEN’S HOSPITAL AND DISPENSARIES.

(By Dr. I. M. A. Doeg, Lady Medical Officer.)
The number of in-patients treated this year was 738. The average stay of each patient in
hospital was much longer than last year, allowing therefore more thorough treatment, and so the
work actually done was greater than would appear from the numbers as compared with those of last
year. During the months of Muharram and Ramadhan the number of in-patients was low, while at
other times all the beds were occupied, and patients have had to be refused admission. The following
table shows the different diseases treated as in-patients during the year.

Diseases of the Eye .. 77

Gynaecological cases .. 58
