CUHK Medical Centre
hospital in Hong Kong
CUHK Medical Centre (Chinese: 香港中文大學醫院; CUHKMC) is a non-profit, private teaching hospital located on the campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in Ma Liu Shui, Sha Tin District, New Territories, Hong Kong. It is the first hospital in Hong Kong to be developed as a "smart hospital", integrating advanced digital technologies across patient care and hospital operations. The hospital officially commenced operations with limited services on 6 January 2021.
History
Background
In his 2008 Policy Address, then Chief Executive of Hong Kong Donald Tsang announced that the Government of Hong Kong was identifying sites for the development of new private hospitals.
In December 2009, the government invited expressions of interest for hospital development on plots located in Wong Chuk Hang, Tseung Kwan O, Tai Po, and Lantau Island.
In March 2010, the Chinese University of Hong Kong submitted a non-committal expression of interest for the Tai Po site. Although the university later developed a detailed proposal, it withdrew from the tender process in 2012, citing a lack of consensus with its potential partner regarding terms of collaboration.
Subsequently, CUHK initiated plans to construct a non-profit teaching hospital on its own campus in Ma Liu Shui. A formal proposal was submitted to the government in 2014.
Funding
On 21 August 2014, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust donated HK$1.3 billion to support the construction of the new hospital.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “CUHK Medical Centre” is hospital in Hong Kong. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through CUHK, Medical and Centre, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “hospital in Hong Kong” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28057395. The Library of Congress control number is no2024014851. Authority coordinates are 22.413, 114.211. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2021, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
