The HKSQ Quality of Life (QoL) Series named "Tai Ping Shan Medical Heritage Walking Tour" organized by Hong Kong Society for Quality (HKSQ) on 28th Feb 2015. The Tai Ping Shan District was the earliest district in Hong Kong that was ear marked in the 1840’s as the residential district for the Chinese population. The neighbouring Sai Ying Pun District was developed a decade later. With a booming population, these districts quickly became overcrowded and with poor sanitation; bubonic plague first broke out in Tai Ping Shan in 1894. In these two districts, there are many interesting relics of attempts to provide medical services to the community, including Traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as attempts at improving sanitation and public health. The tour is designed to promote appreciation of the medical heritage of Hong Kong, by taking participants to walk through those historical sites that witnessed the early development of our medical and public health services.
Mr. CP Chow (Former Chairman, HKSQ) was our tour guide and explained the travel agenda.
Then we took some photos for memory. (Photos are mainly from KS and last one from Karson)
1. Site of former Lock Hospital, 1880
2. Site of former Government Civil Hospital,1880 (now Tsan Yuk Hospital)
3. King’ George V Memorial Park (Site of former Civil Hospital Annex and Quarters for Medical Superintendent)
Tree on the wall!
CP hoped that HKSQ
members could forget their routine work and spend half a day to take a relaxed
walk to learn / understand more about Hong Kong’s unique and valuable medical heritage.
