APPENDIX "D"

SHA TIN

NEW TEACHING HOSPITAL

1.

It is expected that the land for this development will be reclaimed in 1978 and that building will commence in 1979. The schedule of accommodation is now in course of preparation and the 1,400 bed hospital is due for completion by 1982. Tenders for the equipment content are expected to be issued in 1979-80.

2.

Initial thoughts suggest the inclusion of:-

3.

A burns/plastic surgery unit of 8 beds and an operating theatre.

IGU of 16 beds.

Operating theatres

11 rooms.

CCTV and visual add teaching programmes. Ultrasonic diagnostic (2 rooms).

CTAT whole body scanner.

Gamma camera, radio-isotopes.

Rehabilitation.

Catering possibly on Ganymede lines.

Computer terminals in selected clinical areas. Radio-therapy but not in first stage.

A

The hospital will be a Public Works Department project and most of the furniture and equipment will be obtained by the Medical and Health Department through Government Stores. Decisions on equipment for teaching and research purposes will be taken by the University, and that for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, by the Medical and Health Department with the help of its consultant advisers. At this early stage, it is suggested that those companies who wish to bring their products to the notice of the new hospital's administration etc should direct their literature and relevant details to both the Medical Faculty (which office is already established at Sha Tin) and the Medical and Health Department (Lee Gardens, Hysan Avenue, Hong Kong).

MEDICAL FACULTY

The medical faculty will be set up adjacent to the above hospital as a faculty of the Chinese University. The first buildings are likely to be completed in 1979 and will house the Department of Anatomy, Pharmacology and Physiology. Tenders for equipment are likely to be issued early in 1978 for delivery in 1979. HK$3 million has already been earmarked for equipment and teaching aids.
