Queen Mary Hospital, Pokfulam , Hong Kong, is the teaching hospital of the University of Hong Kong. Its main ward tower, Block K, is the tallest hospital building in Asia at 137 metres (28 storeys), and is the second tallest in the world, behind London's Guy's Hospital. It has around 1,400 beds.


1 History

The hospital was founded in 1937, and its first building was opened that year by Andrew Caldecott , the then Governor of Hong Kong. It then replaced the Government Civil Hospital as the main accident and emergency hospital for Hong Kong Island. The hospital was greatly expanded over the years, with two major expansion projects completed in 1955 and 1983.
