荔枝角傳染病院與九龍區醫療的發展（1938-1975）Lai Chi Kok Hospital and the Development of Medical Service in Kowloon (1938-1975)

Description

荔枝角傳染病院位於今饒宗頤文化館的館址，昔日為一所監獄，於1938年被改作傳染病院，與九龍醫院和廣華醫院在九龍區提供醫療服務。傳染病院是因應香港傳染病肆虐的情況，專門接收霍亂和肺結核患者；直至1975年位於荔枝角瑪嘉烈醫院成立，傳染病院才改變用途。講座將以荔枝角傳染病院為個案研究，探討其發展和對九龍社區的貢獻及本港傳染病的傳播情況。

The Lai Chi Kok Hospital is located at the current site of the Jiao Tsung-I Academy. Once used as a prison, it was converted into a hospital for infectious diseases in 1938 to provide medical services in Kowloon along with Kowloon Hospital and Kwong Wah Hospital. In view of the severe spread of infectious diseases in Hong Kong, the Hospital was allocated for receiving patients with Cholera and Tuberculosis until the establishment of Princess Margaret Hospital in 1975 in Lai Chi Kok. This lecture will take Lai Chi Kok Hospital as a case study to examine its development and contribution to the community in Kowloon, as well as the spread of infectious diseases in Hong Kong.
