The old Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital in Bonham Road, Hong Kong.

Prior to the introduction of Intensive Care Unit's (ICUs) in 1967, critically ill patients in Hong Kong were treated in the general wards with the emphasis being on crisis management.  Hong Kong was a slow starter, with regard the development of intensive care facilities and once introduced, development proceeded in a sporadic and fragmentary fashion over the next 20 years.

 

General Development of Intensive Care in Hong Kong

The first ICUs were established at Nethersole Hospital on Hong Kong Island and Kwong Wah Hospital in Kowloon in 1967.  These were officially opened in 1968 and an ICU was also opened at the Grantham Hospital.  In 1970 an ICU was opened at Queen Mary Hospital and over the next decade many hospitals established their own ICUs.

Intensive Care National Audit & Research Centre (ICNARC) was appointed by the Hong Kong Hospital Authority (HKHA) to provide the first local and international benchmarked analysis of HKHA Intensive Care Unit (ICU) data. The total audited period was five years from 2007 to 2011. The international benchmarking was performed against the ICNARC’s Case Mix Programme Database of United Kingdom. The benchmarked analyses were done on many aspects including data quality; critical care provision; case mix; resource use and outcomes - crude and risk-adjusted hospital mortality.
