The Tung Wah Group of Hospi- tals is a unique Hong Kong institu- tion, whose executive directorship is drawn from leading philanthropic, business and professional Chinese, dedicated to the relief of suffering among the poorer classes of the local population.
From origins in which patients were treated purely by traditional Chinese methods, advances have been made which will culminate in the ultramodern facilities to be offered at the great new Kwong Wah Hospital.
