PAGE TEK _____________________________________________________________ AA1 NA 1J.Jtil biueresting Facts and Figures About That AHl- Important Institution -The CommuityHospital Canadian Hospitals across the nation were supposed to hold "open bouse" last week to ob- serve National Hospital Day, and extend a very special invitation to the public ta came and get ac- quainted with their community hospital. For some reason the Board of aur new Memorial Hospital did not enter into the spirit of this annual observance. So The Statesman will use this occasion as an incentive ta pass on to our readers some interesting facts and figures pertaining ta this all- important institution-The Com- munity Hospital. The results of a dominjon-wide survey just completed were re- leased by Dr. Owen Trainor, president of the Canadian Hos- pital Council, indicating that our hospitals have amazing vital facts ta present ta their visitors this year.

In 1951, about 2,671,000 Canadians received care and treatment in Canada's 845 Public general hospitals-that is about one person in every six. These generzel hospitals gave over 21,000,000 days of service. In ad- dition, D.V.A. hospitals, mental hospitals, sanatoria and other institutions, gave another 33,000,- 000 days o! service ta their special patients. Contrast this Picture for a moment with the Canadian scene at the turn of the century. At that time there were far fewer hospitals, trained staff, and fa- cilities. Only one Canadian in every 85 received bospital care. On]y 1 per cent o! the babies born in 1900 were delivered in hos- pital; today, in anc western prov- ince. the ratio is about 98 per cent. This is one o! the important factors in the declining infant mortality rate. Life expectancy, too, bas changed consîderably in the past 52 years.
