Hospital Background
Opened in 1972, Siu Lam Hospital is a convalescent
and rehabilitation hospital providing comprehensive and
integrated rehabilitative and infirmary services to
adult severely mentally-handicapped (SMH) patients.
It is the only hospital providing rehabilitative and

Hong Kong.
Siu Lam Hospital provides patients with
treatment and training. Apart from medical and
psychiatric services, they can benefit from
nursing care and supporting services, including
social education training, occupational therapy,
physiotherapy. An outreach team has also been
formed to serve patients in the territory.
Subsequent to the renovation work and an extension project, there is
now a bed complement of 300, and the number of staff is 306. To give
its environment a lively and colourful look and to improve the quality of
patient's lives and help in their recovery, the hospital has been
decorated with murals both outside and inside the wards. To assist
patients in their rehabilitation, the hospital constructed a complex
audio-visual centre at the end of 1995.
A hospital library was set up in mid-1995, to enable staff to update
and broaden their professional knowledge and to develop the hospital
into a training, research and teaching centre for the provision of
quality services to SMH patients.
To enhance the quality of life of the patients, a rehab-bus was
procured in 1996 and a rehab garden was also constructed at the end
of 1996. A seating laboratory for SMH patients was constructed in
early 1997 and a hydrotherapy pool was put into use in mid-1997 for
the rehabilitation of the SMH patients.

In 2003,Hong Kong broke out a typical pneumonia. Many people
die for this disease. Dr. Joanna Tse Yuen-Man, 35, a lung and
chest specialist at Tuen Mun Hospital, she faithfully continued
to report for duty despite the apparent risks of being infected.
Some other doctors had refused to attend to SARS patients,
seeing it as a death sentence. But Dr. Tse did not shrink back
from the task before her. As a doctor her duty was to save
lives, and she was among the first medical officers to
volunteer for duty in the SARS ward. She was infected while
caring for critically ill SARS patients at the Tuen Mun Hospital.
What is SARS?
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory infection.It is
caused by a coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The incubation period typically ranges
from 2-7 days, but can be up to approximately 10 days.The initial symptoms are
influenza-like. Patients with SARS usually begin with fever, which is often high
(38oC or above), and sometimes associated with chills, rigors, headache,
malaise, muscle pain or even diarrhea. After a few days, symptoms of lower
respiratory tract infection may follow, including cough without sputum and
difficulty in breathing. In around 10% of patients, the illness may rapidly
progress to respiratory failure requiring intensive medical care.
SARS is predominantly transmitted through close person-to-person contact,
especially via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or
sneezes. Droplet spread can take place when droplets from the cough or
sneeze of an infected person are propelled a short distance and deposited on
the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, or eyes of persons who are nearby.
The virus can also spread when a person touches a surface or object
contaminated with infectious droplets and then touches his or her mouth, nose,
or eyes.

In Tuen Mun,you can also find veterinary clinic and dental clinic
For many people are keeping pets,a vet is important. We must t
good care of our teeth. The Government accommodate a specia
programme called The School Dental Care Service. Let’s have a
at these clinics.
Dental Clinic
Click ~
School Dental Care Service,Department of Health
The School Dental Care Service is a special care
programme organized by the Department of Health for
all Hong Kong primary school children in the school
dental clinics near their schools. The main objectives
are to promote good oral hygiene and prevent common
dental diseases. A group of well-trained operators and
dental therapists under direct supervision of
government dental officers provide basic dental
treatment.
Preventive Oral Care
A proper toothbrush allows you to reach all tooth
surfaces and remove plaque at the gum margins. The
head size of an adult's toothbrush should be as long as
the diameter of a one-dollar Hong Kong coin whereas
the head size of a child's toothbrush should be as long
as the diameter of a 50-cent coin. A worn-out
toothbrush should be replaced as it affects proper
cleaning
and
harms
your
gum.
Fluoride toothpaste should be used. Fluoride helps strengthen the
teeth and prevents new decay. A very small amount of toothpaste,
about the size of a pea, is sufficient for teeth. As for young
children, toothpaste is used only if they are able to rinse and
expectorate. This avoids excessive fluoride ingestion.
The
Use
of
Dental
Floss
Dental floss is highly recommended as there
are inaccessible areas such as in-between
teeth surfaces and some tooth surfaces that
cannot be thoroughly cleaned by a
toothbrush.
Flossing
Technique
The proper method of flossing should be
demonstrated by your dentist or dental
therapists.
