GHK Connect - Issue. 61 (August 2021)

Dear Colleagues,

Let me start off with my warm welcome to our Chief Operating Officer Dr Billy Chiu who joined the GHK family earlier this month! A specialist in Family Medicine, Dr Chiu has more than twenty years of clinical experience in both public and private sectors. Through the years, Dr Chiu has devoted himself to the development of primary healthcare and medical education. Dr Chiu will be overseeing the daily clinical operations of GHK, spearheading continuous operational and quality improvements, as well as driving service development in family medicine, digital health and related services, which are pivotal to the sustainable and long-term growth of the hospital. With the support from Dr Chiu, I am confident that GHK will grow even stronger and become one of the best hospitals in the city.

In the past few years, we have been developing different Centres of Excellence to provide patients with advanced specialist services and personalised treatments. Recently, our Maternal Fetal Medicine Centre has been put into service, offering comprehensive antenatal diagnosis, assessment and treatment for high-risk pregnant women and their unborn babies. Launching more Centre-based services will continue to be one of the major directions of our hospital’s future development, we will actively bring in more experts and introduce the latest treatment protocols to further enhance our capabilities in performing highly-specialised procedures and build our reputation for clinical excellence.

At GHK, we value every member of our staff and support them to thrive professionally and personally. Apart from subsidising colleagues to join local or overseas training programmes, our parent company IHH Healthcare launched the Learning Management System (LMS) last year to provide staff in different markets with online learning courses covering a suite of topics. I hope that you will make good use of this learning platform and enrich yourself with the knowledge and skills to help you excel and advance in your career. If you have any suggestion or recommendation to make on the training courses, I encourage you to liaise proactively with Human Resources such that the courses are relevant and practical to you.

With your concerted effort, GHK has been able to uphold reliable and high standard of care while launching various new services amid the pandemic. As a token of gratitude for your hard work, especially the outstanding growth achieved in various areas during the first half of the year, red packets were given to all staff earlier in the month. I look forward to continuing working closely and celebrating more new highs with you all!

Dr Kenneth Tsang
Chief Executive Officer
