YAN CHAI HOSPITAL RECEPTION

*

Note to Editors:

A luncheon reception will be held on Tuesday (August 14) at the Yan Chai Hospital, Yan Chai Street, Tsuen Wan to introduce to the press and local residents the medical services provided by this general hospital.

Mr. I.F.C. Macpherson, District Commissioner, N.T., Dr. G.H. Choa, Director of Medical and Health Services and Mr. Beacon Chiu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yan Chai Hospital will be present.

Your representatives are welcome to attend. Reporters and photographers assigned to cover the function should assemble, not later than 12.15 p.m., at the Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier (near the railway station) where a bus will be waiting to transport them to the hospital and back.

The hospital is expected to open later this year. Initially it will provide 100 beds for in-

patients, a casualty ward and an out-patient clinic.

The building costs amounted to some $3.5 million. The government contributed about $1.7 million while the

rest came from a group of Tsuen Wan community leaders.
