Annual Report 2014–15

大學發展 中大非常榮幸，本年度收到自建校以 來最大筆的非政府機構餽贈，協助大 學實現一項使人振奮的項目——就是 設立非牟利的私營醫院。多年來慷 慨資助香港大專院校的香港賽馬會慈 善信託基金，本年度捐出港幣十三億 元給中大，用作發展這間以自負盈虧 形式運作的醫院。該醫院將提供五百 多個床位，為巿民帶來優質的醫療保 健服務，同時輔助中大醫學院的教研 工作，這筆捐款是令人鼓舞的開端。 University Development The year under review saw the University receiving the largest non-government gift ever bestowed upon CUHK, one which provided for an auspicious start to one of the most exciting projects ever to have featured on the University’s drawing board. The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, for many years the doyen among benefactors of tertiary institutions in Hong Kong, generously donated HK$1.3 billion to the Chinese University for the development of a private hospital. To be operated as a fully-owned subsidiary of CUHK on a non-profit basis, it will be an edifice with over 500 beds providing quality treatment and health care services to citizens and, at the same time, serving as an important complement to teaching and research work in the Faculty of Medicine. 另外有三個與醫療及生命科學研究有 關的機構於本年度開幕，那就是老年 學研究所、中西醫結合醫學研究所 和生命倫理學中心。老年學研究所也 是由香港賽馬會慨捐巨資成立；中西 醫結合醫學研究所致力在理論和臨床 層面，研究和培訓中西醫結合醫學； 生命倫理學中心的成立，則是為處理 生物科技快速進步所帶來的眾多道德 倫理議題。 為激發創新思維、鼓勵創業精神與促 進知識轉移，中大又成立了「前期創 業育成中心」（簡稱Pi Centre）， 為有志創業的學生免費提供支援，幫 助他們實踐創業的理想。中心自成立 以來，其努力的成果已得到不少學 生及工商業界的支持與肯定。 Three other major facilities pertaining to medicine and the life sciences also started to operate during the year under review, namely, the Institute of Ageing, made possible with another substantial grant from the Jockey Club, the Institute of Integrative Medicine, where the integration of Chinese and Western medicine is researched and taught at both the theoretical and the clinical levels, and the Centre for Bioethics, which is a timely response to the rapid advancement of biotechnology and the myriad ethical issues that have thus been engendered. Another innovation of note inaugurated during the year under review was the Pre-incubation Centre (the Pi Centre), a facility to encourage innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship and knowledge transfer. Designed to help students explore possibilities and channels that would ultimately lead to the founding and running of their own businesses, the centre’s efforts have received favourable feedback and support from both students and major promoters of industries and enterprises in Hong Kong. 正在籌建的私營醫院位於港鐵 大學站側的大學用地 The proposed site of the private hospital near the University MTR Station 香港中文大學年報 CUHK Annual Report 2014 – 2015 5
