The Naming and Opening Ceremony of the Yan Chai Hospital Suen Choi To May Child Development Centre was held on 27 October 2026. The Centre is named in honour of Mrs. Mary Suen, MH, a member of the Board of Governors of the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) Foundation and a member of the Advisory Board at Yan Chai Hospital. The naming recognises Mrs. Suen’s generous donation in support of the Centre’s services, as well as her longstanding commitment to philanthropy, care for underprivileged communities and contributions to the development of children’s rehabilitation services.

Mr. Chris Sun, JP, Secretary for Labour and Welfare, attended the ceremony as the guest of honour. He was accompanied by Mrs. Mary Suen, members of the Yan Chai Hospital Board of Directors and Advisory Board, service partners, and distinguished guests from the community to witness the Centre’s official opening.

The Centre primarily provides full-day training and care for children aged two to under six with moderate to severe disabilities. Its interdisciplinary team provides comprehensive rehabilitation and developmental support to help these children realise their potential, strengthen their learning capabilities and daily living skills, and build a solid foundation for their transition to mainstream or special education services.

Among the HKBU Foundation members and friends present at the ceremony were Professor Alice Chiu, BBS, JP, Ms. Portia Chow, Mrs. Raymond Leung, Dr. Chloe Suen, and Mr. Eric Suen. HKBU representatives included Mrs. Lily Chan, Director of University Advancement and Secretary-General of the HKBU Foundation, and Dr. Amelia Lee, MH, Associate Dean of the School of Continuing Education cum Acting Director of the College of International Education.
