“A Good Nurse Brings Blessings to the Sick”: A Kaleidoscopic View of the Kwong Wah Hospital Nursing School Before 1945 (Hybrid mode)
“Keeping up with the Times: Mapping the Development of Hong Kong’s Healthcare Services through the Archives” Subject Talks /“Development of TWGHs Nursing Training” Roving Exhibition
| Date: | 2022/11/12 (Saturday) |
| Time: | 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. |
| Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library (Lecture Theatre) |
| Description: | In 1936, Lady Southorn (wife of Sir Thomas Southorn, the then Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong) rightly captured the roles of Chinese nurses in her speech at the graduation ceremony of Nurses of TWGHs, said, “Not only in Hong Kong but in the vast country of China is there scope for the good nurse to be a blessing to suffering humanity. Countless poor mothers and babies alone demand their skill and the ministration of their own countrywomen who know their language and persuade them to abandon their unwholesome superstitions must be an invaluable asset to the poor of China.” This public lecture will describe and discuss the early history of the Kwong Wah Hospital Nursing School. Doing so might fill up parts of the gap in our understanding of the training school while we might also shed light on the roles of its nurses in the development of medicine in Hong Kong up to 1945. |

| Venue: | City Hall Public Library (Extension Activities Room) |
| Description: | Ever since the opening up of its port, Hong Kong has been a hub of trade between foreign countries and Mainland China, where foreign merchants and firms have developed their businesses and built a substantial number of residential premises, industrial and commercial buildings, club houses and religious places, bringing in western-style architecture. With the lapse of time, new buildings were erected and many old ones were demolished or altered. Fortunately, some historic buildings have been well-preserved and are still standing. Some of them were even endowed with a new life by being adapted for new uses during preservation. In this talk, the speaker will tell stories about the preservation and revitalisation of these historic buildings. |
