The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSARG) aims to increase the overall capacity of the healthcare system of Hong Kong and facilitate the development of the medical industry through the promotion of private hospital development.

HKSARG invites on December 14, 2009 Expression of Interest (EOI) from all interested parties to develop private hospitals at sites at Wong Chuk Hang, Tseung Kwan O, Tai Po and Lantau of Hong Kong. The EOI exercise has been closed on 31 March 2010. HKSARG will consider over the next few months the suggestions and views in the submissions received with a view to formulating the land disposal arrangements for the four reserved hospital sites, including the means and timing for land disposal, the detailed service and special requirements, and the land premium. For information of the EOI exercise, please refer to the relevant press release.
