TWGHs Wong Tai Sin Hospital
Medicine in Wong Tai Sin

Established by the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals in 1965, this extended-care and Tuberculosis and Chest institution focuses on providing intensive trans-disciplinary rehabilitative training programmes that enable its patients to reintegrate into society. The service aims to promote the quality of life of patients and alleviate symptoms. With support of BMCPC and TWGHs, the Hospital provides Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with Western Medicine for terminal cancers patients in one of the wards. The Centre provides comprehensive healthcare services to the patients with end-stage organ failure and cancer to meet the physical, psycho-social and spiritual needs of patients and families. The hospital has established BMCPC Palliative Care Centre in February 2009. Its Geriatric Day Hospital ensures continuity of care and treatment for discharged elderly patients, so that they can reintegrate into their family and the community. The Hospital is also equipped with Sleep Laboratory and Assessment Centre For Fitness To Fly – Integrated Lung Function Laboratory to provide comprehensive services. In addition, it treats patients with tuberculosis and subacute chest diseases. It has also developed special programmes to care for people with chronic chest diseases, physical handicaps and complicated geriatric problems. Closer collaboration and integration with TCM is scheduled in phase, building on experience gained at the initial stage.
