Should you require medical services while traveling abroad in Hong Kong, one of your many options for quality professional health care is the Canossa Hospital, also known as Caritas for the group that now runs and operates it. The hospital is a modern facility that accepts many types of insurance, and offers services from pediatric care to surgical units and one of the world’s most highly respected dialysis units. The hospital is also associated with many of Hong Kong’s most cutting edge medical centers such as the Gamma Knife Centre, and the Hong Kong Brain Centre.
In addition to the quality health care that you’ll receive while at the Canossa Hospital, the site also offers something of a history lesson. It was originally founded in 1929 by the Canossian Daughters of Charity to care for wounded soldiers from the Second World War. At that time, it had only 16 beds, a number that has since expanded to 148. Memorabilia and historical information can be found throughout the facility.
