When our specialist outpatient clinic opened its door on 18^th December 2018, there were only three specialties. After three years, HKCH is already providing comprehensive multi-disciplinary clinical services, handling some of the most complex paediatric cases in the territory, materializing the hub-and-spoke service model, and implementing some key healthcare programmes for Hong Kong. We are also making good progress in research, training and enhancing the patient experience. This issue sums up our work so far, like a report card which reflects the tireless effort and collaboration among teams.

Earlier, several Hong Kong athletes recorded heartwarming holiday messages for our patients and encouraged them to face treatment bravely. Looking ahead, we will continue to draw public attention to the needs of our patients, and gain their confidence in our service.
