North Lantau Hospital (Chinese: 北大嶼山醫院) is a hospital in central Tung Chung, Lantau Island, New Territories, Hong Kong. It was completed in late 2012 and began services on 24 September 2013.^[1]

The hospital has a 24-hour accident and emergency service, and various outpatient services including the North Lantau Community Health Centre.

Incidents

The hospital was criticised in August 2015 after an elderly man collapsed at the hospital's bus stop. Staff took 20 minutes to transport the man to the hospital, only 30 metres away. Health minister Ko Wing-man said that accident and emergency department staff took some time to gather the necessary resuscitation equipment.^[2] Hong Kong Doctors Union president Henry Yeung Chiu-fat said that personnel should have been ready and called the delay "unbelievable".^[3]
