To provide geographically closer services for the people of Kowloon on the opposite side of Victoria Harbour,the Pauline Sisters founded St Teresa's Hospital in 1940. It is sometimes known locally as the "French Hospital" (Chinese:法國醫院),or "Kowloon French Hospital" (Chinese:九龍法國醫院) to distinguish it from St. Paul's Hospital in Hong Kong Island,which is also known colloquially as the "French Hospital". The location of the hospital was next to the demolished Ma Tau Wai,[2] an indigenous village that the modern-day area was named after.[α]
St Teresa's has 1,050 beds and offers a very wide range of specialisations. The hospital is a member of the Hong Kong Private Hospitals Association.
From 1969 to 2002,Saint Teresa's had a School of Nursing for Pupil Nurses (General Nurse). The school reopened in 2005 with a two-year programme,accredited by the Hong Kong Nursing Council,to train Enrolled Nurses on a practical and theoretical level. After completing the training,graduates are eligible for enrollment with the Hong Kong Nursing Council as a general Enrolled Nurse (Licensed practical nurse).[4]
