Tung Wah Eastern Hospital is a charitable rehabilitation hospital located at Causeway Bay and operated by theTung Wah Group of Hospitals. The hospital was formerly calledIndian General Hospital[2] (IGH).
Opened on 27 November 1929,[3] the hospital is located inSo Kon Po,Causeway Bay and became apublic hospital in 1991. It is primarily for the rehabilitation of patients who are almost ready to be discharged from the hospital system. Thus, patients are typically not severely ill or injured. This is why there are no emergency or accident facilities.
The rooftop garden, located on what would be the fourth floor, gives both staff and patients the opportunity to enjoy fresh air, sunshine and a scenic view of the local area.
