§ Four types of hospital accommodation are provided. Assessment of charges is not made on a racial basis. The charges are:
In-patients | Out-patients | |
Grade I—Shs. 20–30 | Shs. | 10 |
Grade II—Shs. 7/50 | Shs. | 5 |
Grade III—Shs. 2 | Shs. | 5 |
Grade IV—nil | Shs. | 5 |
§ Except in workmen's compensation cases. Africans receive free out-patient treatment in Grade III and IV hospitals and dispensaries. Any grade of hospital accommodation is available to any person of whatever race able to afford the charges.
§ The non-racial nature of medical treatment makes it impossible to extract details of revenue derived from African patients.
§ For the same reason, no African attendance figures are available. Africans are increasingly electing to pay for their medical treatment.
