Over the course of 135 years, HKUMed has grown from strength to strength; tracing its roots to the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese, to now one of the top 20 medical schools in the world where we have nurtured generations of industry-leading talents and scholars. Looking back, it is immediately evident that our predecessors of yesteryear to present day are the ones who have built the legacy of HKUMed brick-by-brick, thereby laying a foundation for us to ascend to greater heights.

As we continue to extend the breadth and reach of our talents and infrastructure through numerous expansion projects in Hong Kong and in the Greater Bay Area, there has been a pressing need for increased provision of spaces for us to nurture the next generation of medical professionals, which would allow us to not only respond to growing demands for new talent, but more importantly to provide an avenue to provide expert training for such talents.

Answering to this demand, HKUMed has undergone numerous expansion projects of unprecedented scale, all of which are expected to come into realisation by 2027, when we will celebrate our 140^th anniversary.

It is our hope to strive for greater heights, cultivate new platforms for training and teaching, and build dreams towards a brighter future.

135年來，港大醫學院由小小的一間華人西醫書院，發展成躋身全球20強、孕育領先全球研究員的頂尖學府。今天的輝煌成就和設備完善的校園，由我們的前輩、學生、校友、教職和研究人員用努力砌建而成，一磚一瓦都是集體奉獻和辛勤工作的成果。

隨著我們的師生職員人數倍增，並拓展我們在香港和深圳的足跡及擴大研究項目，我們需要更多空間去培育杏林下一代、以滿足社會對醫療健康創新，和訓練有素的醫護專業人員日益增長的需求。

因此醫學院進行了規模前所未有的擴建。到2027年140周年院慶之際，屆時所有建築項目將會竣工。

我們希望能繼續擴展進步，開拓課程和機遇，建造更光明的未來。
