THE CHINESE MEDICINE HOSPITAL OF HONG KONG
Since commencing phased services in December 2025, the Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hong Kong (CMHHK) has been serving the community as a flagship institution leading Chinese medicine (CM) development. Controlled by the Health Bureau and operated under a public-private partnership model, CMHHK is managed by Hong Kong Baptist University through its incorporated operator, the HKBU Chinese Medicine Hospital Company Limited. We are dedicated to five key missions: clinical services, education and training, research, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and creating health value.
CMHHK offers comprehensive CM care through inpatient, day-patient, outpatient, and community-based programmes, with 65% of services government-subsidised to ensure accessible healthcare. As a pioneer in integrated Chinese-western medicine, CMHHK operates three clinical service models tailored to diverse patient needs. Currently in our first year, we focus on outpatient and day inpatient services, with full inpatient services and a 20-bed clinical trial centre to be progressively launched within five years. We initially offer 12 CM specialty services—including post-stroke rehabilitation and cancer care—with remaining services to follow by 2030.
As the teaching hospital for three local universities, CMHHK collaborates closely with academic partners on clinical standards, training, and research. We have also established strategic partnerships with Chinese Mainland hospitals, facilitating talent exchange and research networking. Through international collaborations with institutions in Germany and Australia, we aim to position Hong Kong as a global bridge for CM advancement.
As CMHHK expands our services and team, we are seeking dedicated professionals across various disciplines to join us. If you are passionate about advancing Chinese medicine and making a difference in healthcare, we invite you to explore career opportunities with us.
