Amen. 1 Brief History of Haven of Hope During the political turmoil in Mainland China in the1940s, many people fled to Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government settled some of them in Junk Bay (Tiu Keng Leng) Refugee Camp. In the same period, foreign missionaries were forced to leave Mainland China. In the 1950s, the refugees were undernourished and lived in very poor conditions, many of them suffered from tuberculosis. With the love of Jesus Christ, a group of missionaries including Sister Annie Skau Berntsen set up a Rennie’s Mill Camp Church Clinic. In response to the increasing need for medical relief services, the Haven of Hope Tuberculosis Sanatorium (former Haven of Hope Hospital) was opened in 1955 on a piece of barren land. God’s grace abounds in Haven of Hope, in both the past and present. During the past 50 years, Junk Bay (Tiu Keng Leng) has developed from a barren land to today’s Tseung Kwan O new town, the territory and population has multiplied; the hospital also expanded her scope of services and capacity of beds to meet the need of the growing population in East Kowloon area. Besides, Haven of Hope Hospital’s mother organization, Haven of Hope Christian Service has also developed into a non-profit making, diversified medical and social organization. 2 Hospital without wall The Haven of Hope Tuberculosis Sanatorium was opened in 22 October 1955, serving patients with tuberculosis. The Sanatorium was renamed as Haven of Hope Hospital in 1976. The services of the hospital has been developed to meet the needs of the local community-- geriatrics and palliative care service were introduced respectively, and community-based / outreach programs were progressively launched and expanded. Today, the hospital has developed into a 425-bed rehabilitation-oriented hospital providing specialist services in Geriatrics and Rehabilitation, Pulmonary Care, Palliative Care and Infirmary, serving people living in the Kowloon East Area. We endeavors to become a “Hospital without Walls”, serving the patients and their families with “holistic care.” Major Development of the Hospital 1955 Haven Of Hope Tuberculosis Sanatorium and Haven Of Hope Nursing School established. 1963 Haven Of Hope Evangelistic Fellowship commenced service. 1976 Haven Of Hope Tuberculosis Sanatorium renamed as Haven Of Hope Hospital. 1978 Geriatrics and orthopedic rehabilitation 1999 Nursing-led infirmary service service commenced. started operation. 1988 Hospice Care (Palliative Care) Unit established. 2001 The Kowloon East Cluster 1991 Became one of Hospital Authority’s (Haven Of Hope Hospital, public hospitals.

Bible Scripture (Isaiah 53:11) In 1954, typhoon Ida attacked Hong Kong, many houses, including the tuberculosis ward were demolished, people sobbed with horrified cries. With pain in her heart, Sister Annie witnessed the disaster and wept at the feet of Jesus for the calamity, poverty, hunger and illness. The Lord revealed to Annie that the greater the love, the greater the pain. The main objective of our work is to let the Lord be satisfied. “I shall see of the travail of my soul, and then be satisfied.” (Isaiah 53:11) Through us, the Lord shall see the travail of his soul, that is the power of the Cross. Through our work, sinners heard the gospel, the sick were cured, the oppressed were released, prisoners were freed, and the Name of the Lord would receive the justifiable glory. After Sister Annie devoted herself afresh to the Lord, she realized the need for setting up a tuberculosis sanatorium and she followed His will to do so. This Isaiah scripture was written on the old administrative block; today, it is printed on the lobby of the new hospital, reminding us that the one we serve is God, may He see the light of life and be satisfied. 5 2. Lobby (Donor Wall) The donor wall is located on the left hand side of the hospital lobby. On the top right hand corner of the donor wall, there is a scripture – ‘The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self–control. Galatians 5:22-23’. The symbol of grape indicates the fruits of the spirit (靈實) which our hospital’s Chinese name and our wards were named after. There are Love Ward, Joy Ward, Gentleness Ward, Goodness Ward, Temperance Ward in the hospital. The English name of the hospital was originated from our historic environment. In the old days, in front of the hospital, there was a sea, which brought comfort and hope to those who suffered from illness, and this was how ‘Haven of Hope’ came from. 3.

Prayer Stone Garden In the old days when resources was limited and the environment of the hospital was poor, Sister Annie Skau and staff used to kneel and pray for God’s provision and guidance. God is faithful and their prayers were listened. To memorize Haven of Hope’s humble beginning and the love of God for the poor and the sick, a stone from the old hospital site where people used to pray on was removed to the courtyard garden of the new hospital building in 1998. The open bible sculpture in the garden also serves as a reminder for us today. It reminds us to listen to the Lord and remember to pray and give thanks in all circumstances. ¦ Opening hours: Everyday, 6am to 5.30pm 5.

  • Paper on Provision of Obstetric Services in the Tseung
    立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(2)486/12-13(05) Ref : CB2/PL/HS Panel on Health Services Background brief prepared by the Legislative Council Secretariat for the meeting on 21 January 2013 Provision of obstetric services in the Tseung Kwan O Hospital Purpose This paper summarizes the concerns of the members of the Panel on Health Services ("the Panel") on the provision of obstetric services in the Tseung Kwan O Hospital ("TKOH"). Background 2. The Kowloon East Cluster serves the population of Kwun Tong, Tseung Kwan O ("TKO") and Sai Kung districts which have an estimated population of 980 000. There are three hospitals in the cluster, namely, United Christian Hospital ("UCH"), TKOH and Haven of Hope Hospital. With the rapid increase of population in TKO and Sai Kung, the existing facilities in TKOH are inadequate in terms of space and capacity to meet the future service requirements and service demand in the Kowloon East Cluster. In July 2008, the Finance Committee approved a sum of $1,945 million in money-of-the-day prices for a major renovation and expansion project at TKOH. The TKOH expansion project includes, among others, the establishment of obstetric wards, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit ("NICU") as well as Special Care Baby Unit to provide the necessary facilities for the development of obstetric and neonatal services in TKOH. The whole project is targeted for completion by late 2013-2014. - 2 - 3. HA has also planned to commission the obstetric and NICU services in TKOH in phases, from enhancement of antenatal and postnatal services, delivery of low risk pregnancies to the provision of a full scale service.

  • Aspiration and Reality in Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Singapore: an Introduction to the Environmental Regulatory Systems of Asia's Four New Dragons
    ASPIRATION AND REALITY IN TAIWAN, HONG KONG, SOUTH KOREA, AND SINGAPORE: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORY SYSTEMS OF ASIA'S FOUR NEW DRAGONS I. INTRODUCTION In 1970 the United States observed the first "Earth Day" for the purpose of raising the environmental consciousness of the nation and eventually, the world.' Although the United States has a wealth of environmental problems,2 they pale in comparison to those found in developing countries, which are often plagued by limited land area and raw materials, burgeoning industries, and frequently, external pressures that siphon needed resources.3 The development efforts of 1. Earth Day has been celebrated in late April every year since 1970. Henry P. Caulfield, The Conservationand EnvironmentalMovements: An HistoricalAnalysis, in ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS AND POLICY: THEORIES AND EVIDENCE 13,39 (James P. Lester ed., 1992). 2. See AL GORE, EARTH IN THE BALANCE: ECOLOGY AND THE HUMAN SPIPJTpassim (1992). 3. Of particular interest in this Note are Asia's four new Dragons and how they have handled the environmental issues that have arisen in the last several decades. Much of the groundwork for the Dragons' current environmental woes lies in their turbulent social and economic histories. Now one of the more prosperous Asian nations, South Korea began the rebuilding and regrowth that laid the foundation for its present economic success following the signing of the Korean Armistice on June 27, 1953. That regrowth, however, was encumbered by tangible and intangible threats originating in North Korea and targeting South Korea's social, military, and economic strength.

  • Legco Panel on Transport Public Transport Interchanges at Hang Hau Station, Tseung Kwan O Station and Tiu Keng Leng Station of T
    LegCo Panel on Transport Public Transport Interchanges at Hang Hau Station, Tseung Kwan O Station and Tiu Keng Leng Station of the MTR Tseung Kwan O Extension PURPOSE This paper briefs Member on the plan of the Administration to make a submission to the Public Works Subcommittee of the Legislative Council for the upgrading of the proposed public transport interchanges (PTIs) at Hang Hau (HAH) Station, Tseung Kwan O (TKO) Station and Tiu Keng Leng (TKL) Station of the MTR Tseung Kwan O Extension (TKE) to Category A of the Public Works Programme. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2. The population of Hang Hau, TKO Town Centre (in the vicinity of Area 56) and Tiu Keng Leng in TKO is forecast to increase to about 84,000, 142,000 and 80,000 respectively by 2011. To meet the increase in demand for public transport interchange in these areas, we need to construct the three proposed PTIs to provide sufficient facilities for passengers to change between the MTR TKE and buses and green minibuses, and for loading/unloading for taxis and general vehicles. 3. The Government authorized the MTR TKE project in October 1998 and the MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL) subsequently started construction in end 1998. The first phase of MTR TKE including the HAH, TKO and TKL Stations will be commissioned in end 2002. We need to provide the three proposed PTIs in time for the opening the MTR TKE. 4. To avoid interface problems and to ensure timely completion of the proposed PTIs, we will entrust the design and construction of the PTIs to MTRCL as part of the land grant for the associated property developments at HAH, TKO and TKL Stations.
