Despite more admissions, deaths in the Pneumophthisiological Unit remained relatively stable over the ten year period at around 14%. Two thirds of the deaths were males. Most deaths concern young adults aged between 40 and 60 years, but a considerable number are somewhat older or somewhat younger. All ethnic groups are represented, with a predominance of Woloffs. Of the killer sickness, tuberculosis is clearly in the lead accounting for 75% of the cases. Other afflictions, such as broncho-pulmonary cancer, are beginning to cause problems. As far as length of admission is concerned, tuberculosis is again in the lead followed by other etiologies.
尽管入院人数有所增加，但在这十年间，肺结核病治疗科室的死亡率相对稳定，约为14%。三分之二的死亡病例为男性。大多数死亡病例是年龄在40至60岁之间的年轻人，但也有相当数量的患者年龄稍大或稍小。所有种族群体都有，以沃洛夫族为主。在致命疾病中，结核病显然占主导地位，占病例的75%。其他疾病，如支气管肺癌，也开始引发问题。就住院时间而言，结核病再次居首，其次是其他病因。
