Clinical Building 1 (CB1) adopts a patient-centered design, equipped with advanced medical facilities to coordinate services and ensure seamless connectivity between the Accident & Emergency (A&E) Department and critical care floors (e.g. emergency room, Intensive Care Unit, operating theaters, emergency diagnostic facilities), enhancing the efficiency of emergency treatment services. The newly established hybrid operating theater will provide one-stop diagnostic and treatment services, supporting cross-specialty team collaboration and reducing the time for patients to undergo diagnostic tests and surgical treatments. Additionally, the helipad on the building’s rooftop will facilitate emergency medical transport services. To ensure smooth traffic flow on the hospital’s main access routes, CB1 will feature an additional vehicle entrance and exit connecting to Pok Fu Lam Road, promoting traffic diversion and optimizing emergency transport services.
Furthermore, the Hospital’s Accident and Emergency (A&E) services will be relocated to CB1, adding six resuscitation and emergency treatment rooms, as well as increasing the number of emergency medicine ward beds by ten to a total of 30 to meet the admission needs of emergency patients. The A&E will also include a negative pressure waiting area for patients with fever and a dedicated waiting area for pediatric patients to cater diverse patient needs. In addition, to support the establishment of nationally accredited Chest Pain Center and Stroke Center, a Green Channel will be implemented to shorten treatment times for patients with chest pain and stroke.
