The Faculty strives to attract and nurture outstanding scholars in the social sciences from around the world through excellence and innovation in teaching and learning, research and knowledge exchange.

As the temple was gradually taken by the sick and the destitute as a refuge, it became reeked with dirt and eventually aroused the concern of the Government and the public. Hence, a group of earnest Chinese community leaders proposed to raise funds and build a hospital in the neighbourhood. In 1869, $115,000 and a piece of land at Po Yan Street, Sheung Wan were granted by the then Governor MacDonnell. The first Chinese hospital in Hong Kong was finally built in 1870 through the enactment of the Tung Wah Hospital Ordinance. Prior to the establishment of the hospital, a temporary clinic was set up by the founding Directors near the hospital premises to offer free medical treatment to those in need. The hospital, named \u201cTung Wah Hospital\u201d, was constructed in 1872 and started to provide free Chinese medicine services to the sick and the poor. It hence laid a foundation of the charitable work of TWGHs. To meet the imperative demand for medical services resulting from the rapid growth of population, Kwong Wah Hospital in Yaumatei, Kowloon and Tung Wah Eastern Hospital in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong were built and commenced operation in 1911 and 1929 respectively. In 1931, the 3 hospitals were amalgamated into the \u201cTung Wah Group of Hospitals\u201d under the management of one Board of Directors. Apart from medical care, TWGHs had been offering various social welfare and education services ever since its beginnings.<\/p>\n<p>This project aims to enhance the capacity of the Residential Care Homes for the Elderly (RCHEs) in New Territories East district to be more willing, ready and able to provide quality palliative and end-of-life care in long term care settings. In the long run, the model of care could be widely adopted in all Government subvented Care-and-Attention Homes in Hong Kong with appropriate policy and funding.[\/vc_column_text]<a class=\"evc-button evc-shortcode more mb-4 evc-btn-solid evc-btn-large \" href=\"https:\/\/foss.hku.hk\/jcecc\/en\/about-us\/project-partner\/tung-wah-group-of-hospitals\/\" title=\"Tung Wah Group of Hospitals\"  >\n\t\t<span class=\"evc-btn-text\">Learn More<\/span>\n<\/a>\n[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bwd_tbc4vd_show_weekday=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner bwd_tbc4vd_show_weekday=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;pt-5&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner bwd_tbc4vd_show_weekday=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;boxshadow mt-3 mb-3 .boxshadow-right-pad&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;txt fs18 mb-4&#8243;]The Faculty of Social Sciences was established in 1967 and has since undergone rapid expansion and significant transformation.
