Pulau Jerejak62. Acting Colonial Surgeon Leask reports on this hospital 1. One hundred and ten (l10) lepers were admitted into Hospital during the year which, with 22 that remained from last year, made a total of 132. Of these, there were discharged 18, transferred 42, absconded 27, died 18, remained at end of year 27. 2. Fourteen (14) prisoners were treated during the year in the Prison Ward. On the 21st April, 2 long sentenced prisoners made their escape by lilting a plank off the floor. 3. On the night of 18th August, a batch of 22 male lepers escaped from the Hospital by wrenching off one of the doors of the ward and overpowering the two attendants. Of these, five were arrested and brought back by the Police. 4. I'o ensure their safe custody for the future, I would recommend that the three wards in the male Hospital be replaced by semi-permanent, ones similar to tliose at the Pauper Hospital. The number of watchmen, too. is inadequate for the proper control of these men, especially when a large body of them is in Hospital. 5. The average daily sick was 37.49, and their mortality 13.63 per cent. 6. Of the total treated, 25 were females, amongst whom 3 deaths occurred. 7. Forty-two (42) lepers, amongst whom were two prisoners, were transferred to the I.eper Asylum, Pulau Jerejak, on the 3rd December. Report on the Leper Hospital. The report was recorded in the Straits Settlement Annual Department Reports[Leprosarium][Malaysia]
