North Lantau Hospital

North Lantau Hospital (Chinese: 北大嶼山醫院; Cantonese Yale: Bāk Daaihyùhsāan Yīyún) is a rural general hospital in central Tung Chung, on Hong Kong Lantau Island.

It was completed in late 2012 and began services on 24 September 2013.

Staff took 20 minutes to transport the man to the hospital, only 30 metres away.

Health minister Ko Wing-man said that accident and emergency department staff took some time to gather the necessary resuscitation equipment.

[3] Hong Kong Doctors Union president Henry Yeung Chiu-fat said that personnel should have been ready and called the delay "unbelievable".
