Chief Executive in Council approves grant of land at No.4 Hospital Road to GX Foundation
****************************************************************************************
A Government spokesman said, "The GX Foundation is an international humanitarian assistance organisation in Hong Kong, which aims to provide international medical and public health humanitarian assistance, including cataract surgery, dengue fever prevention and control, and post-disaster assistance to Belt and Road countries. The Foundation also actively promotes international exchanges and co-operation, and provides internship opportunities for young people in humanitarian work. The Foundation has already launched its services in eight Belt and Road countries and is planning to expand services to other countries. The land grant will help the Foundation meet its operational needs and demand for further expansion."
The Site has a site area of about 1 046.8 square metres. Constructed in 1921, the existing buildings with Grade 2 historic building status include mainly a five-storey main building and a single-storey annex building.
The Government spokesman added, "The land grant will not give rise to greater development intensity. Apart from internal fitting-out and repair of the existing buildings and structures, no other works will be carried out by the Foundation. The Foundation is also required to submit a conservation management plan to the Antiquities and Monuments Office for approval before commencement of any works in the existing historical buildings."
