$6.8 MILLION POLYCLINIC EXPANSION PROJECT
The South Kwai Chung Jockey Club Polyclinic is to be expanded
with the addition of another building on an adjacent site to provide
rehabilitation and specialist services for residents in the Tsuen Wan
and Kwai Chung townships.
Work on this $6.8 million second phase of the Polyclinic will
begin early in the new year, with completion expected in 15 months. The
building will consist of two wings, rising to six and seven storeys
respectively.
The existing Polyclinic is already providing general out-patient,
maternal and child health, chest and X-ray services. The extension will
add substantially to these by providing a rehabilitation centre, a day
treatment centre for psychiatric cases, and various specialist units.
The rehabilitation centre will be on the ground floor. It will
have facilities for physiotherapy, occupational therapy, orthopaedic and
prosthetic appliances and medical social work.
The first floor will be devoted to a paediatric out-patient alinic
and general administration offices.
Medical out-patient and orthopaedic clinics will be located on the
second, and surgical out-patient and social hygiene clinics on the third
floor.
There will be obstetrical and gynaecological out-patient clinics
and ophthalmic, and car, nose and throat out-patient clinics on the fourth
floor.
The remaining floors will house a psychiatric day treatment centre.
