By a special arrangement made with Dr. J. Pollen, the observation ward was
used for some time for suspected cases of plague sent from the Bunders. Twenty-
three such cases were admitted, out of which eighteen developed symptoms of
plague and were treated in the hospital.
The hospital was closed on the 31st May 1897, and the one remaining patient
was sent to the Arthur Road Hospital for further treatment.
Dr. Shivdas Parmanandas, the Medical Officer in charge, performed his duties
in a most praiseworthy manner and to the entire satisfaction of the Trustees.
* When the Committee assumed charge of plague operations, suspected cases were sent to Modi Khana
Government Hospital No. 3 and Wari Bunder Government Hospital No. 8.
