Yan Chai Hospital

Education

Tsin Wan (with the meaning of “shallow bay”), the original name of Tsuen Wan, was a small town along the coast and hills of West New Territories with low population and poor transportation. The local residents mostly engaged with fishing and farming. In the mid-20th century, the Hong Kong Government planned to develop Tsuen Wan as one of the “Satellite Towns”. Since then, Tsuen Wan was developed rapidly. Influx of working labours and grassroots led to insatiable demand of medical facilities, as there was only one clinic in the district, the “Tsuen Wan Trade Association Residents Clinic”. Residents in Tsuen Wan could only go to Kowloon for better medical treatments. On 15 June 1959, Mr. Yip Tak-fan, the Chairman of Tsuen Wan Trade Association, proposed to build a local hospital to cope with increasing medical demands. He lined up local leaders and businessmen, Mr. Chow Kwan-shing, Mr. Hui Tim, Mr. Yau Tze-tin and Mr. Ho Chuen-yiu, and started the preparatory work for the establishment of Yan Chai Hospital. In early 1962, the Tsuen Wan Trade Association formed the "Organising Committee for the Founding of Yan Chai Hospital". Unfortunately, Mr. Yip Tak-fan fell sick from overwork and passed away on 25 August 1962. Mr. Deacon Chiu Te-kan was elected to the Chairman of the Tsuen Wan Trade Association and carried on Mr. Yip’s unfinished mission. In that period, Tsuen Wan Rural Committee provided great assistance for the establishment of Yan Chai Hospital.

SAY YEAH is a charity organization based in Hong Kong. SAY YEAH is the english Pinyin close to the Cantonese common word 死嘢.

Therefore, we should be grateful, and ‘SAY YEAH’ To 死嘢. We aim to bring in innovative approaches, i.e. SAY YEAH education for students, in order to help them understand and experience the true meaning of death, so we can SAY YEAH to a new perspective on death. 死嘢 SAY YEAH is here to provide: 1. The SAY YEAH Hotline The SAY YEAH hotline mainly targets people who have suicidal thoughts and are seeking stress relief, to deliver them a message of: “what it means to cross the boundary between life and death.” 2. Popularize SAY YEAH Culture We intend to host regular events such as concerts, art projects, and stage plays to promote an active SAY YEAH culture to the people. 3. A Living Funeral Have you ever thought of how you would like to say goodbye to your friends and families? “A Living Funeral” offers you an opportunity to customise your “own” funeral. We believe that death is not as scary as it is after all. It will indeed allow you to understand and embrace death from another angle. 4.
