History
The hospital, originally named the Centre of Excellence in Paediatrics, was first announced in the 2007 policy address given by Donald Tsang, the former Chief Executive of Hong Kong. The site chosen for the hospital used to be the headquarters of the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force.
A design-and-build contract for the new hospital was awarded in July 2013 to a joint venture comprising Chinese state-owned contractor China State and Hong Kong firm Shui On Construction. The structural engineer was Meinhardt while the building services engineer was J. Roger Preston Limited. The architect was Simon Kwan and Associates. Construction began in August 2013.
In February 2014, the hospital was officially renamed Hong Kong Children's Hospital. It opened on 18 December 2018, initially offering paediatric haematology and oncology ward, paediatric intensive care unit and operating theatre services. The first inpatient services commenced on 27 March 2019, namely: the paediatric haematology and oncology ward, paediatric intensive care unit and operating theatre services.
