Chau Lin Day Care Centre for the Elderly

History

Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Chau Lin Day Care Centre for the Elderly has been established since March 2009. Tung Wah is very fortunate to have received donation from Dr. Chan Un Chan, Ina, 5th Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors 2008/2009 in support of the capital cost of the Centre. In recognition of their benevolence, the centre is named as "Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Chau Lin Day Care Centre for the Elderly".

Objective

We pledge to ensure that they will enjoy a dignified and happy old age through our services.
