It is also devoted to cutting-edge research, and it has rich experience in providing Chinese medicine clinical services. The HKSAR Government’s recent selection of HKBU as the contractor for the service deed of Hong Kong’s first Chinese medicine hospital is a testament to its leading role in Hong Kong’s development of Chinese medicine.”
