Since the beginning of the pandemic, Hong Kong Adventist Hospital – Stubbs Road (HKAH – SR) has remained committed to providing quality medical services while continuously making necessary adjustments to its services in response to the changing situation. Due to a limited number of negative pressure rooms, our in-patient services mainly cater to non-COVID-19 patients. Our hope is that by offering support to public hospitals (to the extent that our manpower and facilities allow), we are able to contribute to Hong Kong’s anti-epidemic efforts and help alleviate the burden on the public healthcare system.
To support Hospital Authority’s patient referral program, both Hong Kong Adventist Hospital – Tsuen Wan (HKAH – TW) and HKAH – SR have pledged to provide 100 hospital beds to non-COVID-19 patients referred from public hospitals.
In terms of out-patient services, HKAH – SR will offer healthcare services to all patients in need, regardless of whether or not they have been diagnosed with COVID-19. A special area will be designated for COVID-19 patients with mild symptoms and patients with fever or other COVID-19 symptoms to receive out-patient care. Since January 2022, the hospital has provided out-patient services and treatment to over 420 COVID-19 patients.
If conditions allow, patients who test positive after admission will be allowed to remain at the hospital to continue receiving treatment. These patients will only be transferred out of HKAH – SR if their condition requires special care or medication unavailable at the hospital.
In addition, both HKAH – TW and HKAH – SR have received support from the Li Ka Shing Foundation to provide services to patients referred from public hospitals, including Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), cancer surgery, and radiotherapy services. Both hospitals are also committed to the Hospital Authority’s Public-Private Partnership Programme, and in 2022, will participate in programs that provide CT scans, breast cancer surgery, orthopedic surgery, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), urology services, and radiotherapy to patients in need. As of January 2022, the hospital has conducted CT scans for approximately 70 patients referred from public hospitals, in an effort to ease the burden on the public healthcare system.
As a result of the severity of the current pandemic situation, the hospital is also facing manpower shortages. Nevertheless, we will strive to continue our services while maintaining close communication with the Government and Hospital Authority to actively support anti-epidemic efforts.
疫情以來，香港港安醫院—司徒拔道（香港港安）一直竭力提供優質的醫療服務，並不斷因應疫情需要作出相應安排。雖然本院受負壓病房數目所限，住院服務以接收非新冠病人為主。期望在設施和人手可承受範圍內，盡力減輕公立醫院的負擔，同心抗疫。
為全力支援醫管局轉介病人計劃，香港港安醫院—荃灣（荃灣港安）及司徒拔道兩院合共提供100張病床，接收公立醫院的非新冠肺炎病人。
門診服務方面，無論求診者是否新冠肺炎檢測確診，只要有醫療需要，本院均會盡力提供專業照顧，並劃出特定區域，為新冠肺炎輕症患者，或有發燒、其他新冠肺炎症狀的病人提供預約門診服務。由2022年1月至今，便有超過420位求診者，經檢測確診為新冠病人，於本院接受門診診症和其他適切治療。
若有已入院病人突轉陽性確診，在可行的情況下，會繼續留在本院內接受治療，除非病人病況超出本院可應付的能力範圍，或需要服用新冠特效藥。
此外，荃灣港安及司徒拔道兩院亦已獲得李嘉誠基金支持，為公立醫院轉介病人提供服務。其中，香港港安會提供冠狀動脈介入治療（通波仔）、癌症手術、泌尿科服務和放射治療服務，並一直積極參與公私營協作計劃，於2022年有參與的計劃包括電腦掃描、乳癌手術、骨科手術、上消化道內視鏡檢查，及放射治療。由2022年1月至今，本院已通過有關計劃為約70位公立醫院病人提供電腦掃描服務，協助紓緩公共醫療壓力。
現時疫情嚴峻，本院同樣面對人手緊拙的困難。縱使如此，本院上下仍努力維持服務，並一直與政府及醫管局保持溝通，積極配合有關醫療防疫的安排。
