The 16 members of the delegation are the top management of the Central Hospitals and different health departments. The focus of the study tour was on hospital governance.
They visited TMH and CPH to learn the governance, structure and operation at an acute hospital and a rehabilitation/community hospital respectively on 29 May 2012. Four of our HGC members - Mr Paul YU, BBS, MBE, JP (TMH HGC Chairman), Mr CHAN How-chi (TMH HGC member), Mr Michael CHAN Kee-huen (TMH HGC member) and Mr LEE Hung-sham (CPH HGC member) - attended the seminar and shared their views on the role and importance of community leaders taking part in governing public hospitals. The NTWC Top Team had also illustrated the focus with our guidelines and practices.
