In its early years, Hong Kong was in a deplorable public health situation for a long time.
In 1954, J. Carroll Demster, the Colonial Surgeon, pointed out that Hong Kong needed to address its sanitary issues immediately and proposed the establishment of public toilets for the first time in Hong Kong’s history.
The report he submitted to the Hong Kong Governor shows how dirty Hong Kong was at that time.
