Yesterday, Committee Members of The India Association Hong Kong met with Dr. Tang Kam- shing, Chief Executive of Kwong Wah Hospital, to discuss Queen Elizabeth Hospital’s relocation to Kai Tak. With the move occurring in phases-starting with the Outpatient Department in October 2026 and concluding by late 2028-we highlighted travel challenges for the local South Asian community and proposed transit solutions like dedicated shuttle buses from nearest MTR stations. We also addressed the need for translation services, exploring community volunteers while prioritizing medical accuracy and patient confidentiality. Additionally, we emphasized training staff to better utilize existing South Asian dietary options. Addressing local doctor shortages, we discussed recruiting overseas professionals, including from India, though Dr. Tang noted language barriers for junior roles and a local preference for generalists over super-specialists as key barriers. Overall, it was a highly fruitful discussion reinforcing our shared commitment to accessible and inclusive healthcare.
