The Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs), a long-time supporter of the Hospital Authority Charitable Foundation (HACF), has been making annual donation to HACF for decades. Every year, HACF makes donations, including the designated donation from TWGHs, to the Samaritan Fund to help patients meet expenses of self-financed drugs and other medical items that are proven to be of significant benefits but too expensive for the Hospital Authority to provide as part of the subsidised services. |

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness for the old aged and is largely treatable through cataract surgery. The generous donation of the Chan Dang Social Services Foundation to HACF helped provide extra cataract surgery sessions to reduce patients’ waiting time. Over 1,500 patients were benefited from the Project and have restored vision successfully. Top |

Since 2011, HACF has established the Annual Funding Exercise for supporting projects that help add value to and complement HA’s service for benefiting patient care. So far, 34 - 41 projects were supported under the Exercise to fund acquisition of equipment at public hospitals, such as the Stereotactic System for use in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, the Automated Blood Bank Analyser for improving the quality and safety of blood banks, Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Treatment Device for improving treatment effectiveness for a wide variety of psychiatric conditions, and medical equipment for enhancing the surgical effectiveness of minimal invasive surgery, etc. Top |
