"These figures portray a remarkable development in our medical
services and in the health of our community. But they also underline the
valuable contribution made by the Tsan Yuk Hospital, which has trained a
great majority of our doctors and midwives engaged in obstetric care.
"In common with other sectors of the public service, the hospital
has had to face increasing pressure on its facilities due to the rapid
expansion of the population. It is a tribute to all concerned that not
only has it coped successfully with the many and varied problems that
inevitably arise in such circumstances, but in doing so it has ensured
that standards have not been compromised. Rather, its services to patients
have been steadily expanded and improved.
"In order to meet growing demands, the hospital has increased its
capacity to 250 beds, and it is hoped to make available an additional 100
beds by converting the present residential quarters when these are vacated
for removal to other premises.
"Before unveiling the plaque commemorating this important milestone
in the history of Tsan Yuk Hospital, I would like to express my warmest thanks
to all those who have been associated with the administration and operation of
the hospital and whose dedication and hard work have contributed so much to
the impressive progress it has achieved. May I also take this opportunity
to wish the hospital continuing success in the future."
