Operations.
During the year 2,011 operations were performed under
general anaesthetics in the hospital. Of these 119 were
performed by visiting consultants, and 1,892 by the resident staff
of the hospital. Table VII gives a classification of these operations.
In addition, 425 operations were performed under local
anaesthetics by the consultants.
Diagnostic facilities.
Radiology. The present radiological department is a very
complete unit which is staffed by one radiographer and an assistant
radiographer. It consists of a 10 K.V.A. four-valve X-ray plant,
a separate screening room and a modern shock-proof ward plant.
Table VIII shows the number of X-ray examinations and treatments
carried out during the last seven years. The marked
increase in the number of X-ray examinations in 1937 should be
noted.
