Hong Kong Children's Hospital is the first children hospital in Hong Kong's public healthcare system,[1] located in Kowloon City,[2] Hong Kong. Located at the south apron of the former Kai Tak Airport, the hospital has 468 beds for inpatients and day-patients, providing mainly tertiary services for complex and rare paediatric cases. Funded by the Hong Kong Government, construction of the HK$13 billion hospital began in August 2013. The hospital treats patients with a referral up to 19 years of age.[3]
The hospital first focuses on cancer and kidney diseases in the first phase of operation in December 2018.[4] Services currently available include oncology and haematology, nephrology, metabolic medicine, intensive care, paediatric surgery, neurosurgery, pathology, anaesthesia, radiology, pharmacy and allied health services. Other clinical services will commence gradually.[5]
The hospital, originally named the Centre of Excellence in Paediatrics, was first announced in the 2007 policy address given by Donald Tsang, the former Chief Executive of Hong Kong.[6] The site chosen for the hospital used to be the headquarters of the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force.
A design-and-build contract for the new hospital was awarded in July 2013 to a joint venture comprising Chinese state-owned contractor China State and Hong Kong firm Shui On Construction. The structural engineer was Meinhardt while the building services engineer was J. Roger Preston Limited.[7] The architect was Simon Kwan and Associates. Construction began in August 2013.[8]
In February 2014, the hospital was officially renamed Hong Kong Children's Hospital.[8] It opened on 18 December 2018, initially offering paediatric haematology and oncology ward, paediatric intensive care unit and operating theatre services.[9] The first inpatient services commenced on 27 March 2019, namely: the paediatric haematology and oncology ward, paediatric intensive care unit and operating theatre services.[10]
