Professor Francis Chan, who is stepping down this month, said his faculty could admit 400 medical students a year, up from the current 295.
He said Hong Kong is known for its excellence in providing high-quality medical care, and this reputation sets it apart from other places.
“Without enough number of healthcare professionals, we won’t be able to maintain our high-quality healthcare service to support, to serve our Hong Kong people,” he said.
“Also, by having a high-quality healthcare service, we will be able to attract overseas international pharmaceutical companies to believe that Hong Kong is a place where they can develop their new drugs, their new diagnostic equipment.”
Chan will be succeeded by Philip Chiu, associate dean of the faculty.
