It has now 683 in-patient beds,[1] 24-hour Accident & Emergency service, specialist out-patient, day and community facilities.[2]
NDH is the first hospital completely planned and built by the Hospital Authority since their establishment in 1990. After five years' construction, the hospital commenced service in February 1998.[2] The location was formerly known as the Dodwell's Ridge Camp (Chinese: 天祥營; Cantonese Yale: Tīn chèuhng yìhng) of the Royal Hong Kong Police Cadet School.
History
The decision to build the North District Hospital was the result of a 1992 Hospital Authority review of the provision of hospital beds across the territory, based on figures collected in the 1991 census.[3] The government entrusted the Hospital Authority with the design and construction of the new hospital.[4] It was procured through a design–build contract with builder Hsin Chong.[5]
The hospital first opened on 27 February 1998. The 24-hour accident and emergency department was commissioned in August 1998. An official inauguration ceremony was held by Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa on 14 November 1998.[6]
