Responding to increasing burden of chronic disease, the
Tuberculosis and Chest Unit in GH provided Early Visit Programme
for chronic lung disease patients to reduce utilisation of accident
and emergency service and in-patient admission to QMH. Care of
patients with bronchiectasis and malignant pleural effusion was
improved with a Bronchiectasis Clinic set up in GH with the use of in-
dwelling intra-pleural catheter. Nurse-led chest pain clinic of Cardiac
Medical Unit in GH was enhanced to provide fast track assessment
and treatment for patients with coronary artery disease.
Laboratory services were enhanced, providing 30 additional
cytogenetic tests for blood cancer patients, 70 additional predictive
molecular tests for lung, breast and colorectal cancer patients, and
additional 3,750 haemoglobin tests for diabetes patients. In support
of organ transplant in Hong Kong, a laboratory-based transplant
coordination centre set up in QMH strengthened laboratory and
cell/tissue bank services.
QMH achieved breakthrough in liver transplant operations in 2013
where two patients received liver transplants from living donors of
different blood types. With the new technique, it is anticipated that
more live-donor liver transplants could be conducted in future.
