The History of HAIDC

Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) has been the designated Infectious Disease Centre in Hong Kong since 1975 with a strong team of Infectious Disease experts. During the SARS outbreak in 2003, PMH was designated as the SARS hospital, and had managed over one third of all the confirmed SARS patients in Hong Kong. Post SARS review by the Hong Kong Government recommended the need for surge capacity in the public healthcare system. In 2004, the Legislative Council approved to build the first Infectious Disease Centre (IDC) in Hong Kong at PMH, Hospital Authority (HA). The HAIDC at PMH commenced its operation on 21 April 2007, and was officially opened on 22 June 2007.

The ID Centre is the tertiary referral centre for managing infectious disease in Hong Kong. The 17-storey building is equipped with state-of-the-art building service providing the highest standards of infection control and isolation facilities. There are altogether 108 isolation beds which include 14 ICU beds.
