HKBU has received a generous donation of HK$2 million from Dr Stephen Riady, President of the Lippo Group, in support of the University’s strategic development of Chinese medicine and its preparatory work for the operation of Hong Kong’s first Chinese Medicine Hospital.

 

In appreciation of the donor’s beneficence, a cheque presentation ceremony was held on 17 August. Officiating at the ceremony were Mr John Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Lippo China Resources Limited; Dr David Ng, Director of Lippo Asia Limited; Mr Wing Chan, Executive Vice President, Corporate Finance and Development of the Lippo Group; and Professor Alexander Wai, President and Vice-Chancellor of HKBU. Other HKBU representatives attending the ceremony included Professor Bian Zhaoxiang, Associate Vice-President (Chinese Medicine Development); Professor Lyu Aiping, Dean of the School of Chinese Medicine; Dr David Lai, Senior Consultant and Head of the Planning Office for the Chinese Medicine Hospital; and Mrs Lily Chan, Director of University Advancement and Secretary-General of the HKBU Foundation.

 

At the ceremony, Professor Wai expressed his deep gratitude to Dr Mochtar Riady and Dr Stephen Riady, Honorary Chairman and President of the Lippo Group respectively, for their unswerving support of HKBU, and in particular the School of Chinese Medicine over the years. He believes that with the Lippo Group’s substantial experience in healthcare business operation, its support can benefit the University’s endeavours in Chinese medicine education, research and clinical services development, including its operation of the Chinese Medicine Hospital in future.
