Professor Bian Zhaoxiang said that, in addition to providing high-quality healthcare services, CMHHK also shoulders important missions in teaching and education, research, collaboration, and creating health values, striving to become a bridgehead for Chinese medicine to go global. He highlighted the hospital’s people-oriented design, which integrates elements of Chinese medicine culture with smart technologies, such as the Fully-automated Chinese Medicines Decoction System.

Located at 1 Pak Shing Kok Road in Tseung Kwan O, CMHHK adopts a public-private partnership model, with its construction fully funded by the HKSAR Government. In 2021, the Government commissioned HKBU as the contractor under the hospital’s service deed. CMHHK commenced phased services from 11 December 2025, offering outpatient and day-patient services alongside six Chinese medicine specialties and 12 special disease programmes in the first year.
