CUHK has established the Hong Kong Institute of Integrative Medicine (HKIIM), the first university-run institute in the city that encompasses research, clinical practice and education in the integration of Chinese and Western medicine. The inauguration ceremony was held on 29 September and officiated by Dr. Ko Wing-man, Secretary for Food and Health; Prof. Joseph Sung, CUHK Vice-Chancellor; Mr. Anthony Chow, deputy chairman of The Hong Kong Jockey Club; Dr. Edgar Cheng, chairman of the Lanson Foundation; Prof. Edwin Yu of the CUHK InteMed Fund; Prof. Francis Chan, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine; and Prof. Justin Wu, director of the HKIIM.

The HKIIM comprises two major sections: the East-West Research and Training Centre for Integrative Medicine for research and education purposes, and the Integrative Medical Centre for outpatient services. The former actively collaborates with the School of Chinese Medicine, the Institute of Chinese Medicine, local and overseas institutions in research projects on integrative medicine. The latter operates as a one-stop integrative medicine outpatient clinic that provides quality service to the general public.
