商品簡介
Tung Wah Group of Hospitals of Hong Kong traces its
origins to 1870, when it was first established as Tung Wah
Hospital. Over time, it evolved into one of Hong Kong’s
largest and most diversified charitable organizations. Today,
it remains a vital and innovative institution, providing a wide
range of services tailored to the needs of the public,
making it renowned among Chinese-owned organizations.
This book chronicles Tung Wah’s 150-year journey,
highlighting recent developments while outlining broader
historical perspectives. Divided into three parts—1870s–
1950s, 1960s–1990s, and 2000–2020—the book examines
how Tung Wah has adapted to changing times. Through
medical care, education, social services, cultural and
traditional services, Tung Wah has played an indispensable
role in shaping Hong Kongʼs development. Amid the cityʼs
political, economic, and social transformations, Tung Wah
has continually refined its governance structures and
expanded its service portfolio to address emerging public
needs. What has remained constant is Tung Wahʼs
unwavering commitment to serving the community,
steadfast in its mission to do good and walk alongside the
people of Hong Kong.
