As a result, in the beginning St. Mary's funding came entirely from overseas donations, and the hospital was staffed by foreign missionary doctors who donated their services. They also recruited two Irish nuns from the Medical Missionaries of Mary to take charge of obstetrics.
因此，早年聖母醫院的經費完全仰仗國外捐款及外籍信徒醫師的駐院奉獻，另邀請到兩位「聖母醫療傳教會」的愛爾蘭籍修女主持產科部門。
