From the editor

In early October, Anthony Wu sent an e-mail to all Hospital Authority colleagues to tell them that his HA Chairmanship would draw to a close in November. In this month’s HASLink, Mr Wu speaks about the rewards and challenges of his nine years at the helm of the Authority (pages 2 to 5). On pages 6 and 7, we introduce you to the newest member of Kowloon West Cluster – North Lantau Hospital. Elsewhere, Helen Ha spills the beans about Dr Lo Chung-mau’s history of high-speed antics in the service of Hong Kong liver patients (page 11).

In our 'One Minute Talk' column on page 19, a frontline colleague shares his advice for helping chronically ill patients build the confidence necessary to keep enjoying a full and enriching life. And on the back cover, we publish several moving photographs taken by a colleague who recently visited a centre for AIDS orphans in Cambodia (page 20). We hope you will be touched by their words and images.
