In 1910 126 Church Hospitals supplied data for the China Medical Journal for vol 25 no. 5. There were 175 Medical Missionaries in those hospitals. The report states that there were a total of 415 Medical Missionaries in China at the time. [1]

As of 1937 there were 254 mission hospitals in China, and more than half of these were eventually destroyed by Japanese bombing during World War II or otherwise due to the Second Sino-Japanese War or the Chinese Civil War. After World War II most of these hospitals were at least partially rehabilitated, and eventually passed to the control of the Government of the People's Republic of China, but are still functioning as hospitals.
