Launch of the Department's
Chinese Home PageNovember 2006
The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery is happy to announce the launch of a complete mirror site of our home page in Chinese! Our department website was first created in late December 2005. Since then the website has been an invaluable means of introducing the department to the public and our patients. We are firmly committed to making our staff and services as friendly and accessible to everyone. We are also determined to maintain high quality patient education pages on important orthopaedic conditions. We have been very happy with the response to our department website, and our website now averages nearly 1000 hits a month. We fully expect our Chinese website to cater to the needs of our Chinese speaking patients. Please feel free to explore our Chinese language website by clicking here.
