Dear colleagues,
The International Nurses Day on 12 May gave us one of the best opportunities in the year to express our thankfulness to all our nurses for their dedication and resilience, even during some of the most challenging times. Their qualities were also manifested by the many touching stories received from our recent “Uniquely Yours” social media campaign. I was particularly pleased to learn that some of the stories were about patients’ warm experiences with our nurses here at GHK. Also received through the campaign were some wonderful ideas on how we may make healthcare services more personalised. We will be reviewing the feasibility of these as we strive to push our service quality to the next level.
Even though we are still a young hospital, we need to continuously improve ourselves to cater for patients. On this, our Radiology Department has welcomed its third CT scanner. Upon completion of some final tuning, the scanner is set to become operational in June. Renovation of our Dialysis Centre on 1/F is also well underway to provide extra space for more beds and dialysis machines. We are looking forward to putting in operation a more spacious and comfortable Dialysis Centre towards Q3 this year.
We have been seeing a rebound of mainland patients in the past few months as Hong Kong returns to normality and the border reopens. With your can-do spirit and hard work, we were able to continue to deliver excellent care for all our patients despite the rising patient volume. Our re-activation of service promotion to mainland patients is expected to drive even more demand, but please be assured that we have continued to actively recruit new staff to support you and to ensure that our quality care will not be compromised.
I hope you had taken the time to join the recent IHH Global Town Hall during which our Group Chief Operating Officer Mr Joe Sim highlighted the Group’s strategic direction on sustainability. Locally, we have also started fostering staff’s understanding of this group-wide commitment through the means of circulating an animation video and hosting an online quiz on our sustainability framework and goals. Going forward, we hope to invite you as our partners as we roll out other initiatives to promote a more sustainable world!
Warm regards,
