Macau Union Hospital staff to reach 400 by year’s end

The staff at the recently inaugurated Macau Union Hospital is expected to grow to 400 employees by the end of the year, according to Health Bureau (SSM) acting director Cheang Seng Ip.

In a response to an inquiry from lawmaker Leong Sun Iok, the acting director of the SSM revealed that the Peking Union Medical College Hospital has sent over 50 senior medical experts to Macau to assist in the initiation of medical services at the new Macau Union Hospital.

The hospital has already recruited more than 80 local medical staff and about 20 non-clinical medical support staff. The goal is to reach a total staff of 400 by the end of 2024.

To further enhance the capabilities of its personnel, the hospital plans to send doctors, nurses, and clinical technicians to Beijing and other locations next year for various training courses. This initiative aims to update the medical knowledge of the hospital’s staff and ensure they are equipped to provide the best possible care to patients. TC
