HISTORY OF HONG KONG, THE: III - 3. PUBLIC GOVERNANCE AND MEDICARE IN HONG KONG
When the city of Hong Kong was just established, the public environment was deplorable. At first, the death toll among the British army was high as healthcare services were only provided by floating clinics. Although there were Hospital of the Medical Missionary Society and Seaman's Hospital in 1843, but they mainly served the westerners. In 1848, the Government Civic Hospital, the first government hospital was established. However, as the Chinese had little faith in western medicine, combined with high medical fees and communication problem, only a few Chinese sought medical consultation. Most Chinese treated their illnesses with Chinese medicine methods.
