Building on the enthusiastic response to the exclusive guided tours of The Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hong Kong (CMHHK) held in January 2026, the Hong Kong Baptist University Foundation (the Foundation) organised two additional tours in March and April. These sessions provided in-depth insights into the Hospital’s advanced facilities and diverse services, while also expressing its gratitude for its supporters’ steadfast commitment to advancing the development of Chinese medicine. 

The tours attracted strong attendance from Foundation members and friends of the University. Notable guests included: Dr. Clement Chen, GBS, JP, former Chairman of the Council and the Court of HKBU, and his wife Mrs. Della Chen; Dr. Elizabeth Law, BBS, MH and Dr. Stanley Yim, SBS, BBS, JP, members of the Foundation’s Board of Governors, together with Dr. Yim’s wife Mrs. Virginia Yim, MH, JP; and a significant delegation from the Foundation’s Entrepreneur Committee, including Dr. Terence Chan, Mr. Hung Kwong Yee, Professor Nagar Lai, Mr. Lam Cheung Chuen, Dr. Raymond Leung, Mr. Jimmy Liu, Dr. Allen Shi, SBS, BBS, MH, JP and his wife Mrs. Kimmy Shi, MH, and Ms. Eileen Tsui, BBS, JP. Also present were Ms. Nancy Hung, Mr. Felix Lio, Mr. Kevin Ng, Ms. Candy Ngan, and Professor Calvin Tse from the Foundation’s Entrepreneur Committee; Mrs. Poon Heung Mi Kuen, Honorary Trustee of the Foundation; Ms. Annie Cheung, Mr. Gavin Cheung and Mr. Patrick Tsang, Honorary Permanent Presidents of the Foundation; and Miss Lydia Koo, Honorary President of the Foundation.

The tours were co-led by HKBU representatives and CMHHK management members, including Professor Alex Wai, JP, President and Vice-Chancellor of HKBU; Mr. Huen Wong, SBS, JP, Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the CMHHK Operator; Ms. Christine Chow, Vice-President (Administration) and Secretary of HKBU; Professor Bian Zhaoxiang, MH, Associate Vice-President (Clinical Chinese Medicine) of HKBU and Hospital Chief Executive of CMHHK; and Mr. Cheung Chun Hoi, Deputy Hospital Chief Executive (Chinese Medicine) of CMHHK. Mrs. Lily Chan, Director of University Advancement and Secretary-General of the HKBU Foundation, also joined the events.

Professor Bian Zhaoxiang highlighted that, in addition to providing high-quality healthcare services, CMHHK is committed to its key missions dedicated to education and training, research, collaboration, and creating health value, as well as establishing itself as a bridgehead for the global development of Chinese medicine. He also emphasised the Hospital’s people-oriented design, which integrates elements of Chinese medicine's culture with advanced smart technologies, including the fully automated Chinese Medicines Decoction System.

Mr. Cheung Chun Hoi added that, to ensure the efficient and orderly collaboration of Chinese and Western medicine, the Hospital has established clear clinical pathways and guidelines to foster mutual trust and coordination between Chinese and Western medicine teams. The Hospital has also introduced “six major Chinese medicine specialities, special disease programmes, and a one-stop clinical model”. These enable patients to receive diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care at the same location under the same medical team. This approach eliminates the fatigue arising for patients travelling between multiple hospitals and significantly enhances the patient experience. This is a major breakthrough for Hong Kong’s Chinese medicine services.

Located at Pak Shing Kok Road in Tseung Kwan O, CMHHK operates under a public-private partnership model, with its construction fully funded by the HKSAR Government. In 2021, the Government commissioned HKBU to be the contractor to operate the Hospital. CMHHK commenced phased operations on 11 December 2025, offering outpatient and day-patient services, along with six Chinese medicine specialities and 12 special disease programmes in its first year.
