The Duchess of Kent Children's Hospital at Sandy Bay

The Duchess of Kent Children's Hospital at Sandy Bay (Chinese: 大口環根德公爵夫人兒童醫院; Cantonese Yale: Daaihháuwàahn Gāndāk Gūngjeuk Fūyàhn Yìhtùhng Yīyún) is a paediatric hospital in Sandy Bay on Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong.

Orthopaedic teams from the University of Hong Kong’s Department of Surgery (the forerunners of today’s Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at the University of Hong Kong’s Medical Centre) working at the hospital pioneered the operation, most notably the "Hodgson/Yau" surgical team of Dr (later Professor) A. R. Hodgson and Dr (later Professor) Arthur Yau Meng-choy.

In 1970, Katharine, Duchess of Kent visited and when the facility upgraded from "Convalescent Home" to "Hospital" in 1971, it took her name.

It is the only such public health facility in Hong Kong and serves as a model center for habilitation and rehabilitation of children with chronic handicap in China and across Asia.
