We welcome referrals from the private sector and HA hospitals for patients ≤ 18 years old with potential need for cardiothoracic surgical intervention, as well as patients who have undergone cardiothoracic surgery needing further surgical attention.

The cardiothoracic surgery team works in close collaboration with cardiology and the intensive care unit in HKCH. Referred patients will often be assessed with these teams for treatment plan formulation.
