To relieve the pressure brought by the high occupancy rate of O&T, a new Male O&T ward A8 was opened on 10 September 2012. Those O&T patients in ward B2 previously were transferred to ward A8 for continual care.
A roasted pork-cutting ceremony was held to unveil the opening of ward A8 on 6 September 2012. Dr Albert Lo, CCE, Dr Y Y Chow, COS(O&T) and Mr Alfred Tse, DOM(O&T) expressed sincere gratitude over the staff who continuously contributed to the team. They hope staff could ride on the present resources to provide even better service to our patients.
