Wounded Progresses The Chinese Medical Association reports that new hospitals continue to be opened daily Over 20 emergency hospitals have now been ¢stablished by the Red Cross Society and the Red Swastika Society, including an important convalescent hospital for wounded soldiers in Brenan Road, The opening of these new hospitals has caused a shortage of nursing staff.
The large number of civilians being wounded every day continues to tax the existing hospital facilities, although the congestion has been considerably relieved by the opening of the C.M.A. Convalescent Home in McTyeire School. There is a definite need for the provision of more beds for sick refugees, and several groups are taking steps to open such hospitals; however, there has been difficulty in finding premises. Any persons able to put the Association in touch with premises for about 100 beds should telephone 30846.
The S.MC. Medical Officer in charge of refugee problems has asked the Chinese Medical Association to broadcast an appeal for publi support in improving infant feeding in refugee camps, where many of the mothers do not have enough milk to feed their babies; the provision of cow's milk from dairies or of milk products will be welcomed. He also desires to appeal for gifts of cod liver oil, boracic ointment, sulphur ointment and mild antiseptic lotions of all kinds. One of the largest emergency hospitals for wounded soldiers is in urgent need of blankets.
The Chinese Medical Association, 41 Tszepang Road, Tel. 33858, will be pleased to forward all such things to the proper hospitals and refugee camps.
