Currently there is no centre in Hong Kong that is
specialized in education, patient care and research in Urological diseases. This is a unique opportunity to establish
such a centre in the Chinese University of Hong Kong as the first in Hong Kong.
目前,在香港沒有是一個專門從事教育,病人護理和研究泌尿疾病的中心。這是一個獨特的機會,讓香港中文大學在香港建立第一個這類型的泌尿中心。
