In 1928, the prison hospital was rebuilt and patients had to move inside the prison during this period. Fortunately the rebuilding was completed before the epidemic outbreak in Hong Kong in 1932 and no prisoner was infected.
The prison dental clinic was located at the Second floor of D Hall. Comprehensive dental treatment, including the provision of dentures, simple fillings and extractions were provided for the inmates by visiting dentist in Victoria Prison.
During the early nineteen century, medical resources were limited in Victoria Prison and there was no medical staff on duty during the night. Full-time medical staff was hired since 1960s.
Victoria Prison had its own hospital and sickbays served by Medical Officers from the Department of Health and Correctional Officers who were qualified in nursing care.
The hospital staff was responsible for providing medical cares for the sick inmates round the clock. They also needed to conduct body examination for the newly admitted convicts and detainees.
The prison morgue was not in use for many years. Deceased prisoners now would be sent to public mortuary for post-mortem examination. All deaths inside prison should be reported to the Coroner to hold an inquest.
