The Health InfoWorld (HIW) was established by Hospital Authority (HA) in 1999. It serves as a platform and focal point for patient empowerment and community engagement.
During 2013 to 2014, the HIW underwent revitalization. Concepts of disease prevention and patient education are presented through an array of interactive exhibits, bringing new learning experiences to visitors.
HIW adopts the concept of “Living Forest Library for Knowledge and Health” which represents the abundance of knowledge and health information as in a forest library. The decor of HIW is characterised by layers of tree rings, with interlacing branches and foliage to relate the design concept of life and growth.
