Amidst the pall cast by COVID-19, there are still steadfast acts of love and support that lights up the shadows. We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for the recent donation of 20,000 KN95 masks to HKAH-SR from our Board Member and longtime supporter of the hospital. Unsurprisingly, a great amount of time was spent to source the KN95 at the height of the global shortage. Yet, these unwavering efforts paid off - the much needed masks comes as an incredibly welcome relief during the ongoing COVID crisis. This act of generosity is one of the many in the fight against the pandemic. With such gifts and support, we vow to continue providing compassionate care to patients while ensuring the safety of our staff. Once again, we will like to thank our Board member for the show of support and care.

疫症無情，但人間有愛。我們衷心感謝董事局成員捐贈2萬個KN95口罩予本院及一直以來對本院的支持。在新型冠狀病毒肺炎疫情下，全球口罩需求殷切，能於百忙中抽空於全球積極搜羅，以實際行動支持前缐醫護人員的抗疫工作，這份無私的捐獻，實在無言感激。 我們會善用這批防疫物資，繼續為病人提供高質素、富愛心的優質醫療服務，同時確保全體員工的安全。
再次感謝董事局成員慷慨捐贈，關愛前線醫護人員，助力抗疫工作。

We are excited to announce that our first patient mobile app “HKAH” will be available on App stores (Apple and Google Play Store) in June! With the aim of enhancing patient experience, the app allows new and existing patients to book out-patient appointments and self check-in, with further features to be continuously added.
 
Quick Appointment Making 
Users can quickly preview a doctor’s availability and book an appointment, with immediate feedback on whether it was successful. By allowing in-app rescheduling or cancellations, this reduces the need for phone calls or emails.
 
Easy Search through Specialties
Depending on their needs, users can search via specialties, such as Cardiology, Orthopedics, Obstetrics and Gynecology etc. 
 
Self Check-in with QR Code
Now, patients will only need to arrive 15 minutes before the appointed time, and register via scanning a QR code at our self-service kiosk machine near the Information Counter, saving significant time.

Real-time Queue Status
As the queue status is automatically refreshed every 30 seconds, it enhances clarity and certainty of waiting time.
 
Access Latest Health Information and News
The in-app “Health and Lifestyle” section gives users instant access to first-hand information, including medical articles, exclusive interviews with doctors and patients, as well as the latest time-limited offers. Regular healthy lifestyle messages will also be released regularly.

As a professional medical institute, we value the health and safety of our patients, staff, and wider community. We have implemented strict control measures, such as temperature monitoring, practicing good hand hygiene, and required wearing of medical masks. We have and will continue to closely follow directions from the Centre for Health Protection (CHP).

Protection for Visiting Patients: 
At our triage, should a patient be found to fit the CHP's criteria, the patient will pass through a designated passageway to an isolated pressurized room for examination. The CHP will be immediately notified to transport the patient to a public hospital, as they are better equipped for further treatment. 

Protection for Medical Staff: 
All medical staff have daily checks on their temperature and health conditions. Measures are taken to ensure they are wearing proper protective equipment, including medical masks. Staff are frequently updated, and have access to various health talks to ensure their own well-being.

Although COVID-19 has slowed its rampage recently, our staff are still adhering to strict infection control measures in order to continue providing safe and compassionate care. Under the pressure of these extraordinary circumstances, this sweet surprise and show of support from The Nest Bakery cheered up the staff of the whole hospital. In fact, our colleagues responded so enthusiastically that the exquisite cakes were swept away within 15 minutes! 

This “Cakes for heroes, baked by heroes'' treat was made possible by donations, Deliveroo’s sponsorship, and Nesbitt Centre’s bakers, a social enterprise creating jobs for people with learning disabilities. Overall, this morale booster will motivate us to continue  providing quality medical service to help fight the virus together! 

疫情雖稍有放緩跡象，但本院全體員工未有鬆懈，繼續做好防疫措施，為病人提供優質的服務。在緊張氛圍之下我們收到由The Nest Bakery送來的精美蛋糕，為全院上下員工打打氣，反應亦非常熱烈，不消15分鐘就被員工掃光光！

事次活動“Cakes for heroes, baked by heroes''別具意義，分別由户户送及思拔中心所贊助。
思拔中心是專為有學習障礙的人士提供就業機會的整餅社企。本院會將這份心意化成動力，繼續為病人帶來更優質的服務體驗，抗疫同行。
