懸壺濟世 加強醫療及地區中醫服務
與環球眾多大都市一樣，香港的出生率處
於低水平，而長者人口比例不斷上升。
人口高齡化令社會對醫療服務的需求更趨
殷切，為了讓市民得到更臻完善的照顧，
東華三院致力提升及改善轄下醫療服務，
從而促進和保障整體市民的健康。
廣華醫院服務香港逾百年，一直是本院
九龍區的重點醫療服務單立，為配合現
代醫療及服務發展趨勢，已於2013年起
獲政府撥款支持重建計劃，並於2016年
中旬正式動工，而重建計劃第1階段拆卸
醫院南翼等共4座大樓的工程經已於本年
度完成，在2018年第4季則將會完成下層
結構工程，並隨即展開上層結構建設工
程。預期整個重建計劃可於2025/2026年
度竣工，屆時廣華醫院將繼續擔當區內急
症醫院的角色，配備先進設施，提供超過
1,500張病床，並會加強門診及日間醫療
護理服務和中西醫結合治療服務，亦會增
加內腫瘤科服務及中醫病床，以滿足區內
市民對醫療服務的需求。
隨著中醫藥醫療日趨現代化，社會對中醫
服務的需求持續上升。為加強在社區的
中醫醫療服務及延展服務網絡，東華三院
遂於本年度在九龍荔枝角新開設一家提供
優質綜合中醫專科服務的診所。為照顧上
班一族，除延長診所診症時間外，東華
三院更善用科技，開發新的手機應用程
式，方便求診人士即時了解中醫診所的診
症及取藥輪候狀況，提升服務的靈活性，
更貼合服務使用者所需。

東華三院致力推動全人教
育，著重多元發展及學習
體驗，銳意幫助學生裝備

挑戰。
Strengthening Medical and Community
Chinese Medicine Services to Heal the Sick and Needy
Like many other metropolitan cities in the world, Hong Kong
has a lower birth rate and a growing elderly population, which
contributes to an ever increasing demand for medical services in
the community. To provide better care for the citizens, TWGHs is
committed to upgrading and improving its medical services, so that
it can promote and protect the health of the community as a whole.
Serving Hong Kong for more than a century, Kwong Wah Hospital
has always been a key provider of TWGHs’ medical services in
Kowloon. To meet the trend of modern healthcare and service
development, a redevelopment project was initiated in 2013 with
government funding, and the construction work was formally
launched in the middle of 2016. Phase 1 of the redevelopment
project, which involved the demolition of the SouthWing comprising
4 buildings, was completed within the year. The substructure works
will be completed by the fourth quarter of 2018, immediately
followed by construction of the above-ground structure. The entire
redevelopment project is expected to be completed in 2025/2026,
when Kwong Wah Hospital will continue its role as a well-equipped
acute hospital in the district. With over 1,500 beds by that time,
the Hospital will have strengthened its outpatient services, day
care medical services, as well as Integrated Chinese and Western
medicine services. There will also be some new services, including
medical oncology services and Chinese medicine (CM) inpatient
beds, so as to meet the medical needs of local residents.
As Chinese medical treatment is getting more modernised in
response to social needs, community demand for CM services is
also on the rise. To this end, TWGHs opened a new clinic in Lai Chi
Kok, Kowloon during the year. This Clinic provides comprehensive
Chinese medicine specialist services, aiming at strengthening such
services in the community and expanding the service network of
the Group. To better serve the working population, TWGHs has
extended the consultation hours of the CM clinic, and developed
a mobile app that allows patients to keep track of the waiting
time for consultation and medicine dispensing. With this enhanced
flexibility, our CM services are now more user-friendly, benefiting
the patients in an effective manner.
Nurturing Talents with Integrity, Academic Excellence
and Global Vision
Nurturing talents is an important task in the fast-changing world
today. TWGHs always attaches great importance to education
and constantly allocates resources to related services, so as to
nurture future pillars with integrity, capability and accountability
for the community, and ultimately, contribute to the stable
advancement of the society. As time goes by, we are
convinced that the old model of one-way education
can no longer meet students’ needs. For this reason,
TWGHs is committed to promoting all-round education
by focusing on diversified development and learning
experience. We are determined to help students equip
themselves to meet new challenges around the world.
