I am indeed fortunate and honoured to have joined Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs). Over the past 8 years, I have learned that the foundation of TWGHs philanthropy lies in the benevolence and sagacity of predecessor Boards of Directors who built and operated this first Chinese charitable organisation in Hong Kong to relieve Chinese from distress. Their kindness and generosity not only won the support of the general public and donors but also inspired generations of committed people to join TWGHs and to serve the community, thus enabling TWGHs to stand the test of time, and to grow from strength to strength.

3 擔任主席的一年來, 我不敢言功, 慎記東華三院之 本, 恭敬謙卑, 以 敬實載德 為管治之道, 帶領本院的團隊邁步向前 為將東華三院的德澤進一步廣傳, 我們近年銳意把這百年慈善品牌注入活潑長青的元素, 將行善帶入生活 將歡樂注入善行 我們不單以海內外經驗為鏡, 並援引學術理論且以先導計劃的方式, 把多個嶄新項目引入香港, 開拓服務範疇, 為廣大市民解困扶貧, 締造生活中一個又一個的歡欣時刻, 並將東華三院大愛無疆的精神植根於新一代的心中, 注入新動力, 讓關愛他人成為恆常事, 世代相傳 懸壺百載濟世仁心滄海桑田一世紀, 本院屬下的廣華醫院已成為本港醫療界的中流砥柱 雖經過多次擴建, 但面對社會對醫療服務需求的變化, 該醫院大樓的空間已變得不敷應用, 再加上相關設施和服務分散於不同大樓, 對病人及管理層皆帶來不便 廣華醫院自去年 5 月獲立法會財務委員會通過撥款後, 其重建計劃於 6 月正式開始, 第一階段是進行拆卸及下層結構的工程 為紀念這個重要里程, 東華三院及醫院管理局特別在 5 月下旬工程展開前, 籌辦了 向廣華醫院 60 年代建築致意 儀式, 以感謝歷代 廣華人 一直為市民盡心服務 儀式不但邀請了多位重要官員和嘉賓出席, 還有由該院醫護仝人組成的 BandOne 及 Tension Band 樂隊現場表演, 憑歌寄意, 以鼓勵 廣華 醫護團隊團結一致, 克服重建期間的重重挑戰 活動當日, 幾代廣華人聚首一堂, 細說當年, 緬懷昔日往事之餘, 也期盼重建計劃完成後將為醫院帶來一番新景象, 為市民帶來更優質的醫療服務 本院為確保重建期間可維持原來的醫療服務, 年內作出了不少調動及配合, 包括將原設於廣華醫院的廣華醫院 香港中文大學中醫藥臨床研究服務中心遷往油麻地東寶閣新址 ; 而華永會長者牙齒保健及治療中心亦轉型成為東華三院牙科診所 ( 廣華醫院 ), 並調遷至廣華醫院北座 6 樓 都市人食無定時, 經常外出用膳, 且長期高油 高鹽及低纖維的飲食習慣, 大大增加罹患本港 頭號癌症殺手 大腸癌的 During my tenure as Chairman this year, I dare not trumpet what I did and adhere to the spirit of kindness honoured by TWGHs. With a humble heart, I managed and led the Group and the team forward, underpinning my management motto of honoring the spirit of practicality and advancing the goodness of philanthropic virtues. We have actively injected new elements of vivacity and youthfulness into the centennial philanthropic missions of TWGHs, bringing philanthropy to everyday lives and fun to charitable causes. With reference to overseas experience and academic theories, as well as conducting pilot programmes, we introduced a number of new services in Hong Kong to provide relief for the disadvantaged and the poor, and create many joyful moments in life of the community. We hope to pour the boundless love of TWGHs into the hearts of young people, developing a new driving force and turning care and concern for others into daily occurrences that will be kept passing on to the new generations perpetually. Healing the Sick for a Century with a Benevolent Heart As time goes by, Kwong Wah Hospital has become a stalwart in Hong Kong s medical sector. However, despite rounds of extensions, the space in the Hospital s main building became inadequate for meeting the developing societal needs for medical services. Coupled with the fact that facilities and services are scattered in different buildings, inconvenience was bound to be experienced by patients and the hospital management. With the funding granted by the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council in May last year, the redevelopment project of Kwong Wah Hospital commenced in June 2016, and its Phase One involves demolition and substructure works. TWGHs and the Hospital Authority commemorated this important milestone by jointly organised Our Tribute to Kwong Wah Hospital Buildings in the 1960s Ceremony in late May 2016 in recognition of the quality services provided for the public through the years by the many generations of Kwong Wah People. Attended by dignitaries and senior officials apart, the Ceremony also featured performances by BandOne and Tension Band, musical groups formed by various Kwong Wah Hospital medical and health staff members who put their memories of the Hospital into lyrics and encouraged their colleagues to stay united in braving the challenges ahead. On that day, several generations of Kwong Wah staff members gathered together and shared their memories of the Hospital while also looking forward to the new face of the Hospital, which will deliver more quality medical services to the community after the redevelopment. A number of relocations and redeployments were made to ensure the service continuation during the redevelopment period, including the relocation of Kwong Wah Hospital The Chinese University of Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Clinical Research and Services Centre to Tung Po Court in Yau Ma Tei. In addition, the BMCPC Dental Health Centre for Senior Citizens was converted into the TWGHs Dental Clinic (Kwong Wah Hospital) and relocated to the 6th Floor in the North Wing of Kwong Wah Hospital.

They tend to eat too much oily and salty food with a low dietary fibre, increasing the risk of colorectal cancer the Main Killer Cancer in Hong Kong. The Department of Health launched the 3-year Colorectal Cancer Screening Pilot Programme to improve recovery outcomes, with TWGHs as an active participant. The TWGHs Integrated Diagnostic and Medical Centre will offer primary medical services while its Computed Tomography Imaging Centre will offer colon computer scan services for those unable to complete a colonoscopy. Also, the Endoscopy Centre which was established in North Point in end of February 2017, provides colorectal cancer screening services for early detection and a higher recovery rate. TWGHs is committed to optimising its medical services capitalised on the advance of technology. With support from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Rehabilitation Medical Centre within TWGHs Wong Tai Sin Hospital has started to operate since mid There is a horizontal integration of all the rehabilitation activities in the Centre, thus centralising the rehabilitation trainings on the same floor and facilitating patients to undergo effective medical treatments. The Centre is equipped with various advanced facilities and equipment, including the computer-driven Robotic Walking Therapy System which can provide varied upper and lower limb training, to enhance the effectiveness of rehabilitation. Since its inception, TWGHs has vowed to pass on the legacies of Chinese medicine. Dovetailing with the Government policy of developing Chinese medicine in recent years, we are honoured to have the support of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the People s Republic of China and Guangdong Provincial Hospital in establishing the Centre for Succession for Dermatology at Kwong Wah Hospital The Chinese University of Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Clinical Research and Services Centre. The Centre shares and promotes Chinese medicine therapeutic and the clinical experiences of the State-level Chinese Medicine Master Professor XUAN Guowei to benefit the people of Hong Kong. Nurturing Generations and Talents through Sheer Persistence The legendary scientist Albert Einstein once said, "Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school". Students are like seedlings; TWGHs is dedicated to creating an ideal education environment for them, by providing the nutrients essential for growth and helping them to become future pillars of society. TWGHs founded its first free school in 1880 to provide free education for children in poverty to enhance their upward social mobility and propel the development of society. TWGHs has since become one of Hong Kong s leading education sponsoring bodies, with the 53 schools and education service centres under its management providing secondary and primary, kindergarten, special and tertiary education to nurture talent. TWGHs established Tung Wah College to meet the growing demand for tertiary education in Hong Kong by providing high quality programmes focused on practical applications. Last year, the College s 5th Anniversary saw the Medical Laboratory Science major and Radiation Therapy major of

Graduates who have completed the programme are eligible to register with the respective Board for the license to practise and are also eligible to be employed by public and private hospitals, clinics and medical laboratories. All members of the Group are extremely pleased with the accomplishment that graduates can put what they have learned to good use and realise their ambitions. Tuition fees are a concern for many students. We are delighted to announce that both these 2 majors have been included by the Government in the Study Subsidy Scheme for Designated Professions/ Sectors (SSSDP) for the academic year 2017/2018, under which the students will receive $70,000 tuition fee subsidies each year to relieve their financial burden. In the short time span of 5 years, Tung Wah College has earned recognition by the Government and professional bodies due to the efforts of collaborating parties, supporting organisations, college staff and alumni. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to them all. TWGHs has been embracing the all-round education that is conductive to the moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic growth of students. We have set up the TWGHs Student All-round Development Fund this year dedicatedly to sponsor students with talent in particular areas to take part in activities such as recognised and high-level international examinations and competitions, which will help to fulfil their dreams. The sponsored students will be appointed as TWGHs Student Ambassadors to actively participate in a variety of TWGHs activities and spread our charity message. More than 50 years ago, our predecessors at TWGHs raised funds to build our first secondary school Tung Wah Group of Hospitals No.1 College (now the TWGHs Wong Fut Nam College). However, after half a century the campus facilities were understandably unable to accommodate modern teaching methods. The redevelopment of the campus that began more than 2 years ago, was successfully completed and new premises starts to operate this year. The new environmentally-friendly campus has more space for activities, including 30 standard classrooms, an allweather sports ground, and a multi-purpose hall which can accommodate all the teachers and students. Meanwhile, reprovisioning of the TWGHs Ma Kam Chan Memorial Primary School is also underway and is expected to be finished in 2017, which will help ease the shortage of study places in the district. During the year, we were granted a campus site in the On Tat Estate, Kwun Tong to establish a new kindergarten, which will work in partnership with the child education teams from tertiary institute and provide a diversified, brand-new curriculum in line with international academic theories and study. In recognition of the generous donation and support from Dr. the Hon. HO Hung Sun, Stanley, GBM, GBS, Mrs. Lucina LAAM HO, Ms. Maisy HO, BBS, Member of the TWGHs Advisory Board cum Chairman 2015/2016, and their family, this new kindergarten was named TWGHs Lucina Laam Ho Kindergarten. It began operation in February 2017, and from September 2017, will provide comprehensive and high-quality child education.

For this purpose, we actively organise a variety of overseas study and exchange activities on different themes to enrich students experience of life outside the classroom and explore all life s possibilities. TWGHs and Greater China Ltd. co-hosted TWGHs Students High-Speed Rail Tour in China for 75 our students in the summer of 2016, which coincided with the 150th Anniversary of the birth of Dr. SUN Yat Sen. They first travelled to Zhuzhou, the lynchpin of the rail network, to understand Dr. Sun s dream of an interconnected system in China, as espoused in The International Development of China. They then visited Dr. SUN Yat Sen s Mausoleum to pay respect to the great man who laid the blueprint for building a modern China. This was, followed by a visit to the Defense of Sihang Warehouse in Shanghai to catch a glimpse of the country s heroic war history. Also, sponsored by the Board of Directors, more than 20 of our students travelled to Beijing and Xuanhua County in Hebei Province to participate in the Dream Making Journey for One Belt, One Road Experts and Students, as well as the Student Summer Social Practice Programme on Educating the Poverty to deepen their understanding of national policies, the legal system and the living conditions of different social strata in the Mainland China. People s lives affect each other. The Board of Directors has promoted interaction and communication between TWGHs school students in Hong Kong and the Mainland by cementing sister-school partnerships with 51 Mainland schools, thus building a vast learning network for our students and deepening their understanding of developments in the Mainland China. Also, as we place a premium on extending the global perspective of our students, during the year, we organised the Soccer Ambassador Exchange Tour to Japan and the TWGHs Student Ambassador Tour to London. The former marks the 4th year TWGHs partnership with Arsenal (HK) School to hold a soccer training programme to promote students self-discipline, perseverance and initiative, and moral education. Thirtyseven soccer ambassadors from our primary schools travelled to Chiba Prefecture in Japan, visiting local museums and primary schools as well as playing a number of friendly soccer matches. The latter is a major annual event of the TWGHs Student Ambassador Programme. The activities arranged included visits to the Chinese Embassy, the British Museum, Dr. Sun s old residence in London, the British Parliament, the University of Cambridge, the British Museum and etc. The delegation also paid courtesy visits to a local Chinese community organisation, former Hong Kong Governor Lord Wilson of Tillyorn and the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London. After the tour, the student ambassadors wrote reports on their overseas experiences and shared them with other students. The TWGHs Student Ambassador Programme was developed to enhance students leadership abilities, help them to think flexibily and acquire an all-encompassing global perspective through the training provided prior to the overseas tours, the visits and exchanges in overseas countries, and the summing-up reports made on their return.

We started the Every Child is an Artist Art Education Development Programme in kindergartens to inspire the creativity, aesthetics, appreciation and expressive abilities of preschool children by means of famous picture books and artworks. The 1-year pilot programme had ended and an exhibition of students work was held in June Research results which affirmed the tremendous benefits of arts training for preschool children were also announced. More of our kindergartens will participate in the scheme this year in the hope to further promoting guiding principles of the arts education for preschool children, benefiting the education sector finally. The 3-year projects E-Learning for Special Education and Intelligent Robots for SEN Children Learning were launched this year with funding from the HSBC 150th Anniversary Charity Programme. TWGHs Tsui Tsin Tong School and TWGHs Kwan Fong Kai Chi School jointly developed the programmes with other special schools, with the aim to stimulate the children s learning motivation through deploying mobile devices and ancillary software. The programmable robots effectively complement the learning pace of school children through providing image and voice information, and so offer varied learning options for SEN children and enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning. Tailored for their needs, the appropriate supporting facilities enable SEN children to work at their own pace in the road of learning. 本院亦借助大數據整合資料的科技, 在年度內完成了中央電子教育系統的開發工作, 作為本院屬校互通的資訊管理平台, 幫助學校監測及評估學生的學習活動和表現, 從而改善學習模式 教學方式和行政政策 系統於本年度以先導計劃的方式在屬下 9 所中學及 6 所小學試行, 效果理想, 正逐步擴展至屬下全部中學 小學及特殊學校, 以發揮更佳的協同效應 安老復康加強社區支援著名思想家孟子名言 老吾老以及人之老 敬老一直是中華民族的傳統美德, 在孝敬自己的長輩時, 亦應敬重身邊的長輩 本屆董事局在救病拯危及興學育才以外, 亦毋忘先賢推崇安老復康的重要性 本港平均壽命冠絕全球, 體弱多病的老人是社會弱勢中的弱勢, 東華三院響應政府 居家安老為本, 院舍照顧為後援 的理念 經過近 4 年工程, 東華三院賽馬會松朗安老綜合服務中心於 2017 年 3 月開幕 中心集結跨專業的醫護人員和社工, 其資助及非資助院舍宿位提升一倍達至 410 個, 並提供 20 個自費日間護理名額, 亦有認知障礙症專門服務和晚晴照顧服務, 回應社會對安老服務的殷切需求 With the help of big data technology in streamlining information, the development of the Central Electronic Education System, as an interconnected data management platform for TWGHs schools, has been completed. It aims to facilitate school management in monitoring school and class attainment, planning for education programmes and learning objectives, and administering education policies. The pilot test was successfully run in 9 secondary schools and 6 primary schools, and as it is proven to be effective, the system is now being extended to all TWGHs secondary and primary schools, as well as special schools, by phases to improve synergy. Strengthening Community Support for the Elderly and Rehabilitation Services As famous thinker Mencius said, Extend the respect of the aged in one's family to those of other families, respect for the elderly has always been a virtue extolled by Chinese society. While caring for the elderly in one s own family, we should also respect those in other families around us. Apart from honouring our mission to heal the sick, and relieve the distressed as well as promote education and nurture youngsters, the Board of Directors has also adhered to the importance of elderly and rehabilitation services. Hong Kong people enjoy the world s longest life expectancy, but frail old folk are the most disadvantaged group in our society. TWGHs therefore actively supports the Government s call for Ageing in place as the core, institutional care as back-up. The TWGHs Jockey Club Sunshine Complex for the Elderly opened in March 2017 after nearly 4 years of

By assembling cross-sector professionals, including healthcare and social workers, the Complex provides a total of 410 subsidised and non-subsidised residential places, doubling the original number, as well as 20 self-financing day-care places. Dedicated services for the elderly suffering from dementia are also provided alongside hospice care services to meet the rising demand for elderly care services. In response to the surging number of dementia cases, we have used funding from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to establish an arts immersion centre at Shek Mun, Sha Tin, the Hong Kong s first-ever innovative facility specifically for the dementia-stricken elderly. Patients psychological and behavioural problems are targeted through art intervention, thus helping to support and alleviate the pressure on their caregivers and promote intergenerational harmony. Pioneering Preschool and Youth Services As Mencius said, Extend the love for the young in one's family to those of other families, we should show care and concern for other children while nurturing our children. Seeing the very great need for youth development, and art, cultural and recreational facilities in the Wong Tai Sin district, TWGHs is considering the construction of a Complex for the all-round development of young people, which will have a hostel, a theatre, multifunction rooms and startup spaces. By providing world-class art and cultural activities and services, the new Complex will help to unleash youngsters potentials. Consultancies have been commissioned for a feasibility study and an application has been made for a land grant (private treaty grant) with the Government. In addition, in support of the Government policy of increasing youth hostel places, we are actively planning to revamp a defunct primary school on Hollywood Road at Sheung Wan into a youth hostel, and are now awaiting the remaining rezoning statutory procedures and funding approval. The plot of land is the former site where our predecessors started the first free school at the Chung Wah College in 1880 for poor students, thus leading the way to civil schools and lay the cornerstone of TWGHs education services. When the new hostel opens, we hope that this century-old legacy will continue to shine and contribute to nurturing young people by engaging their hearts and minds. A happy society is based on happy families, which in turn are built on happy parent-child relationships. We have established the 5-year, territorywide Parents Academy with funding from the HSBC 150th Anniversary Charity Programme to equip parents with the knowledge and skills to address their children s needs in the period between the preschool and primary school. The emphasis is placed on the building of proper parentchild relationships for a happy childhood. As a parent myself, I fully understand the love of parents for their children. We started the Jockey Club Parents as Coaches Project, which is designed to support children with special needs and their families. Aimed at children who are diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, high-functioning autistic spectrum disorder or anxiety disorder, this Project will enable parents to understand their children s behaviour, emotions and stage changes, and thus apply appropriate methods to help their children

Early intervention and all-round support services will be provided by a team of cross-sector professionals for 200 children studying in participating kindergartens and nursery schools who are on the waiting list for preschool rehabilitation services. Support will also be provided to their teachers, parents and carers. The team will conduct comprehensive developmental assessments of the children and formulate individual educational plans while also providing support and counselling for preschool teachers, parents and carers to ensure that the children will be able to move forward smoothly in their education. We also launched the Healthy Campus Scheme in September 2016, which will be extended to 33 secondary schools, including all schools under TWGHs. As the biggest participating service institution in the Programme, we are committed to creating a drug-free school culture. Developing a Harmonious Society and Providing Community Happiness It is our conviction that Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime, and helping the disadvantaged to make a living on their own is the fundamental solution. For this purpose, we have been proactively developing various social enterprises. During the year, we set up the Rinato Eco Floral Shop, the first-ever social enterprise floral shop operated by the hearing-impaired. Apart from promoting inclusion, the environmentally-friendly flower products are expected to spread the recycling message in the community. Also, the production centre for CookEasy, another TWGHs social enterprise, was opened in Kwai Chung in July Hiring 15 staff, of whom 9 are people with disabilities. The Centre produces food packs, catering food, lunchboxes, soup and own-brand snacks. A retail outlet was also established by the CookEasy in the Tuen Mun MTR Station concourse of the West Rail Link to reach out to more consumers and drive its online sales. For more than a century, TWGHs has brought many fun-filled and touching moments to Hong Kong people. With support of the Home Affairs Department, Wong Tai Sin District Office, and Wong Tai Sin District Council, we organised the Aurora and Snow Carnival at the Morse Park Swimming Pool in Wong Tai Sin between mid-december 2016 and early January 2017, featuring Continental European festivities through the dazzling 3D Aurora show, falling snow and European decorations. The event attracted a total of over 83,000 attendance, all of whom spent a unique Christmas and New Year. Every Cent Counts in Furthering Philanthropy Thanks to community support, we successfully organised more than 20 fund-raising events during the year. Besides the well-known Charity Cantonese Opera, Charity Golf Tournament and Tung Wah Charity Gala, we have tried to inject innovation into traditional forms of fund-raising.

Innovation with Due Respect for Heritage As the oldest local charitable organisation in Hong Kong, the bricks and mortar behind TWGHs record the collective memory of Hong Kong citizens. Inheritance and conservation has always been one of our core missions. Structural inspection and extensive maintenance work began during the year on a declared monument, the Tung Wah Museum located in the courtyard of Kwong Wah Hospital and it has had to be closed until the end of Bidding farewell to it for now, we published the Catalogue for the Plaques and Couplets of the Tung Wah Museum and organised a series of activities in which the valuable historic artefacts were presented for public appreciation. The treasures and invaluable plaques and couplets in the Museum were taken down and stored in a safe place for protection. Part of the archives and dossier was separately stored in the TWGHs Maisy HO Archives and Relics Centre to facilitate public retrieval. We have also expanded the contents of the Preserve and Share: Tung Wah Museum Archives website to enable overseas Chinese to know more about TWGHs and to internationalise work on artefact preservation. The 3 collections added include the Tung Wah Coffin Home Archives Collection which stores, in digital image and summary caption format, 300 pieces of correspondence on bone repatriation service, between the Group and overseas Chinese organisations and individuals during the 1920s to 1930s. These correspondence is important literature for studying subjects ranging from Hong Kong history and the modern history of China, and the migration history of ethnic Chinese. Ms. Ginny MAN, the 5th Vice-Chairman, fully supported our preservation and inheritance work and made a generous donation of $1.68 million to the TWGHs Record & Heritage Fund for promoting our history. We are pleased to name the Archives Repository at TWGHs Maisy Ho Archives and Relics Centre the Ginny Man Archives Repository to express our gratitude towards her generosity.
