Research Officer, The Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hong Kong

THE CHINESE MEDICINE HOSPITAL OF HONG KONG

The Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hong Kong (CMHHK) stands as a flagship Chinese medicine (CM) institution dedicated to advancing Chinese medicine in Hong Kong and is expected to commence operation in phases at the end of 2025. 

Established through a public-private partnership, the hospital is being constructed by the government, with HKBU appointed as the contractor in June 2021 through a tendering process. Subsequently, HKBU registered “HKBU Chinese Medicine Hospital Company Limited” as the operator in accordance with the requirements of the service deed, which is responsible for the management, operation, and maintenance of CMHHK. 

A hallmark of CMHHK is its integrated approach, blending Chinese and Western medicine to provide professional patient care. CMHHK will actively engage in various interactions and collaborate with the industry to promote the development of Chinese medicine across Hong Kong, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and international institutions. By sharing resources and expertise, CMHHK aims to advance the standardisation and globalisation of Chinese medicine, opening new directions for future healthcare services. 

We warmly invite dedicated individuals to join our team, where you can contribute to the future of Chinese medicine. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the health and well-being of our community and create a brighter future!
