The TWGHs originated from the Tung Wah Hospital which was established in 1870 under the promulgation of the “Chinese Hospital Incorporation Ordinance”. It provided Chinese medicine then many other services to Chinese locally and globally. In celebration of its 145th anniversary in 2015, the Board of Directors of TWGHs led by Ms. Maisy Ho, the current Chairman, has kindly offered to sponsor the event.
