Yan Chai Hospital (Chinese: 仁濟醫院; Cantonese Yale: Yàhnjai Yīyún) is an acute hospital under the Kowloon West Cluster of the Hospital Authority, providing acute and extended care services to the Tsuen Wan community and its neighbouring areas. The hospital was found by the Yan Chai Hospital Board of Directors in 1973.[1]

History

Yan Chai Hospital opened its doors to patients on 28 August 1973, and was officially opened on 24 October 1973 by the Hong Kong Governor, Murray MacLehose. The hospital was built and equipped at a cost of about HK$5.5 million, of which HK$1.7 million was funded by the Hong Kong Government, HK$0.4 million by the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club, and the rest by the directors of the hospitals.[2]
