At the launch ceremony of the Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Hospital and the Government Chinese Medicines Testing Institute, titled “Flagship Leading, Connecting the World”, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR, Mr. John Lee Ka-chiu, attended and delivered a speech, opening a new chapter for the development of Chinese medicine in Hong Kong.

Mr. Lee stated: Chinese medicine is an important part of Hong Kong’s healthcare system. Hong Kong also possesses strengths in various aspects, including an internationally aligned medical system, regulatory framework, standard-setting, and clinical research. The SAR government will make every effort to promote the high-quality development of Chinese medicine and fully leverage Hong Kong’s unique advantages under “One Country, Two Systems”—“Basing on the Motherland, Connecting with the World”—to turn Hong Kong into a bridgehead for Chinese medicine going global.

PART 01

A City’s Expectation, A Hospital’s Mission

As Hong Kong’s first Chinese medicine hospital, it bears the important mission of promoting the standardization and internationalization of Chinese medicine. Its emergence deeply integrates traditional Chinese medicine culture with modern medical services, providing a new model for the development of Chinese medicine in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and even globally.

From its architectural appearance rich in Eastern aesthetics to its interior spaces blending tradition and modernity, it preserves the elegance of Chinese aesthetics while embodying the professionalism of modern medicine. Patients can receive care in a reassuring environment while also feeling the influence of traditional culture. Every design element of the Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Hospital tells a story of “heritage and innovation”.

Iron Tech: Using Technology to Preserve the Essence of Ancient Methods

In the hospital’s core functional area – the Chinese Medicine Decoction Center – Iron Tech’s automated decoction, filling, and labeling integrated machine is operating stably. This equipment is not simply about “machines replacing manual work”, but rather empowering tradition with technology, so that the essence of ancient decoction methods can be better preserved in modern processes.

PART 03

Core Advantages of the Chinese Medicine Decoction Center

Full-process control and traceability

From the completion of prescription dispensing to entry into the decoction system, every step is monitored through the data platform and real-time interaction with the decoction pharmacist’s PDA, achieving process control and traceability, ensuring that each dose precisely meets the patient’s needs.

Balancing ancient methods with intelligence

The equipment supports personalized decoction following traditional ancient methods, while stabilizing decoction quality through automated procedures, enabling efficient implementation of the TCM principle of “one person, one prescription, one dose, one decoction”.

Automatic filling and labeling

After decoction is completed, the equipment automatically performs filling and labeling according to medical orders, reducing manual errors, improving dispensing efficiency, and allowing patients to receive safe and reliable TCM preparations more quickly.

PART 04

Starting from Hong Kong, Looking to the Future of Chinese Medicine

The significance of the Smart TCM Pharmacy project at the Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Hospital goes far beyond the modernization of a single hospital. As a bridge connecting the Mainland with the world, Hong Kong has unique advantages in the internationalization of Chinese medicine. The standardized and intelligent TCM service model developed through this project meets international healthcare quality standards while preserving the core characteristics of Chinese medicine, providing a “Hong Kong model” for Chinese medicine to go global.

In the future, as the construction of the TCM highland in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area advances, the experience of the Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Hospital is expected to be further promoted. The Smart TCM Pharmacy system can interface with medical institutions on the Mainland, facilitating mutual recognition of quality standards for Chinese medicinal materials and sharing of prescription information, so that residents of the Greater Bay Area can enjoy more convenient and high-quality TCM services.
