hospital and dlspensaey, B ushire/and^ quaran
tine A dministration for the year 1923.
Hospital. —The new hospital was occupied in April 1923. Its design is a
compromise between what is needed for a hospital on the one hand and local Per
sian ideas of architecture coupled with insufficiency of funds on the other. As a
result, when occupied, it lacked electric light, a water-supply, cookhouses,
quarters for staff, ( and a sanitary and drainage system. Electric light lias
been installed, two engines purchased and, thanks to the Anglo-Persian Oil Com-
pany, a free supply of kerosine oil and petrol for power. A proper drain has
been nnide into the sea, latrines constructed and a water-tank on the roof for
finishing purposes supplied by an automatic electric pump from a well, is in
course of erection. A large " Ab-ambar " has been Constructed to be connected
by a semi-rotary hand pump to another tank on the roof for the supply of water
to the operation theatre and dispensary.
The hospital has carried on its work under difficulties while these additions
have been made, and it cannot yet be considered be other than an Out-door "
Dispensary. The question of staff has to be settled if the hospital is to take
" In-patients The old staff, ample for out-door dispensary is paid by the
Indian Government. It is quite insufficient for the needs of an In-patients ,
hospital, and this question, together with that of the provision of quarters for
staff and the erection of cook-houses will be brought before the hospital com
mittee as soon as the electric-light, water-supply and drainage systems are
finished.
During the year the total number of cases treated were :-r-
Out-door 10,776, with 516 minor operations.
In-door 164, with 148- operations.
Quarantine. —In Charbar plague broke out in February and terminated in
July 1923. The Quarantine Medical Officer from Jask was ordered to proceed to
Charbar to investigate and report on' the outbreak ; and to advise the Indian
Detachment, the telegraphs, and the civil populatipn on sanitary arrangements.
