St Teresa's Hospital, Hong Kong

St. Teresa's Hospital is a private hospital in Hong Kong.

had grown out of the caring activities undertaken by the Sisters of the Roman Catholic Christian order St. Paul de Chartres for the poor and underprivileged of the Wan Chai and Happy Valley areas of Hong Kong Island, which commenced in the mid-19th Century after the order had first established itself in the then British colony.

To provide geographically closer services for the people of the Kowloon area of Hong Kong, the Pauline Sisters founded St Teresa's Hospital in 1940. It is sometime known locally as the "French Hospital".

St Teresa's is a modern and well-established hospital. It has nearly 600 beds, first rate equipment, and offers a very wide range of specialisations. All patients are treated and cared for regardless of colour, race or creed.

The hospital maintains very high clinical, governance and educational standards and is a member of Hong Kong Private Hospitals Association.

St Teresa's Hospital is surveyed and accredited bi-annually by the Trent Accreditation Scheme of the United Kingdom, a major international healthcare accreditation group.
