Special Exhibition

The Centenary of Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital
Serving Patients ‧ Nurturing Talents ‧ Driving Innovations

---

Exhibition date: 17 September 2022 – 30 December 2022

Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital (HKSH), established in 1922, has been intricately bound with the growth of Hong Kong and the neighbouring region. In the past century, building upon the vision and mission of Dr LI Shu Fan, the founding father and former Medical Superintendent of HKSH, the devotion of HKSH to patients as well as the commitment to advancing clinical excellence and medical education continues to this day.

The Exhibition will take audience on a journey through a hundred-year history of HKSH as an integral part of Hong Kong’s medical development. Shedding light on HKSH’s contributions to healthcare services, medical education, and clinical research in the past century, the Exhibition shows how HKSH embraced opportunities and challenges to further medical sciences and provide total patient care in the community. A number of precious historical objects will be made public for the first time, which include the medical suitcase of Dr. LI Shu Pui, the former Medical Superintendent of the Hospital, to treat injured in the Mainland during WWII, and a gold grain implantation gun for treating cancers in the 1960s, just to name a few.

Staging the Exhibition at Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences, a heritage building with more than 100 years of history, it will bring you back to the days witnessing how the Western medicine developed and flourished in Hong Kong over the past century.
