New NTEC Breast Care Centre in service
The newly established New Territories East Cluster Breast Care Centre located at the Specialist Outpatient Clinic of North District Hospital started service in phases in late September, delivering patient care in a multidisciplinary one-stop model covering diagnosis, treatment and post-operation follow up. The treatment process of breast cancer patients used to be complicated as multiple specialties and professions were involved. Patients had to visit different departments and even different hospitals at different time points, the process of which could be very trying and time-consuming. Apart from providing a warmer and cosier environment to enhance patient experience, the new Centre can accommodate different breast cancer-related specialties and teams to facilitate the patient flow, achieving the goal of ‘early diagnosis and early treatment’.
The construction cost of the Breast Care Centre was funded by the generous donation of the former North District Lands Officer the late Ms Mona Woo through the North District Hospital Charitable Foundation.
