2013-2014
With new development areas abound in the Tuen Mun and Yuen
Long districts, it is anticipated that the total population and service
demand will rise further. To better manage growing service demand,
initiatives were implemented during the year to increase service
capacity. A total of 118 additional beds were opened to cater for
more inpatient need of local residents, with 40 acute beds in TMH
and POH respectively and 38 convalescent beds in TMH.
Service for day patient and outpatient were improved. The Electro-
Medical Diagnostic Units (EDU) at TMH and POH were revamped
with a new Combined Endoscopy and EDU Centre opened at
TMH in January 2014, providing a total of 24 additional sessions
of endoscopy and electro-medical diagnostic services per week.
The capacity of renal replacement therapy was also expanded to
provide four more patients with hospital haemodialysis service.
Episodic quotas of 12,000 attendances were added to general
outpatient clinics to improve access to public primary care services
for target population groups. Anti-vascular endothelial growth
factor treatment was provided to 60 new age-related macular
degeneration cases and 500 new cases of diabetic related eye
diseases.
