Hong Kong Children's Hospital
HKCH serves as the tertiary referral centre for complex, serious and uncommon paediatric cases requiring multidisciplinary management, providing diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation services for patients in need from birth to 18 years of age territory-wide (note: there is no accident and emergency department or general outpatient clinic in HKCH; all patient cases must be referred by registered doctors in public hospitals or the private sector). The 13 paediatric departments in other public hospitals continue to provide secondary, acute, emergency and community paediatric care. Under this hub-and-spoke model, HKCH and regional hospitals work together as a coordinated and coherent paediatric service network.
