MEDICAL FACILITIES IN HONG KONG
Dr. Choa Gives Illustrated Talk To Rotary Club
Medical facilities in Hong Kong are continuing to grow in proportion
to the needs of the population, and the services already provided match
with the best anywhere in the world.
Dr. G.H. Choa, Director of Medical and Health Services, told
members of the Rotary Club of Kowloon West this today during the course
of an illustrated talk.
In a 20-minute show of coloured film slides, Dr. Choa took
Rotarians on a capsule tour of the medical and health establishments in
Hong Kong, visiting not only hospitals already in operation, but also the
exteriors of hospitals only recently completed, such as the Siu Lam
Hospital in Tai Lam, and the Princess Margaret Hospital, in Lai Chi Kok,
to be opened in 1974.
Radiological services, mental health services, physiotherapy,
the Institute of Pathology, the Flying Doctor service, Port health, the
Auxiliary Medical Services, and even the forensic museum in the Police
headquarters, all formed part of Dr. Choa's wide ranging travelogue.
In a running commentary, he emphasised that the medical services
in Hong Kong, as the pictures showed, were not static but were growing as
the needs of the population grew.
He pointed to some of the sophisticated equipment shown as
evidence of the Government's determination to provide Hong Kong with the
best and the latest in the medical and health fields.
