Records

The records contain the patient's number, name, age, marital status, occupation, date of admission, on whose authority, the disease, its possible cause and duration, and the date of discharge or death. A flood in the basement of the Administration Building destroyed the volume for 1954 to 1964.

The records are arranged chronologically.
