Revamping
of EMSD Website
Making sure that both the public and our customers have easy access
to useful and user-friendly information, we will relaunch our website.
The site has been completely redesigned,information restructured
and the entire site has been given a fresh new look. The aim is
not only to provide comprehensive and useful information on our
activities and services but also to make it easier for users to
find required information as quickly as possible.
The website answers any general enquiries that users may have on
what we do and provides a convenient communication channel. We hope
you will enjoy browsing through our revamped website at www.emsd.gov.hk.
If you have any views and comments, let us know. We would be very
pleased to hear from you.

New EMSTF Hotline
Our existing 24-hour fault reporting hotline 2333 3762 has been extended
to accept customer enquiries and complaints, to become a convenient
one-stop "EMSTF Hotline". The new hotline provides a single point
of contact for customers to report equipment faults, make enquiries
and lodge complaints. The previous customer hotline on 2915 6955 has
therefore ceased operations. |

IHF Congress 2001
The 32nd International Hospital Federation Congress 2001, organised
by the International Hospital Federation and the Hong Kong Hospital
Authority, was held at the Convention and Exhibition Centre in Hong
Kong in May. Hand in hand with the event, an exhibition was held
to showcase the latest medical products and equipment, trends and
developments in the industry. There were more than 30 exhibitors
representing some of the major names in hospital management services
and pharmaceuticals from around the world. EMSD participated in
the event to promote our hospital engineering services and our many
capabilities in this area.

Continuous Learning & Development in the
Civil Service
The Civil Service Training and Development Institute organised a one-day
Symposium and Exhibition on Continuous Learning and Development in the Civil
Service in April.  About 20 government departments, tertiary institutions
and government organisations participated as exhibitors, displaying a range
of products and programmes to promote continuous learning. Invited to take
part in the event, our exhibition displays focused on EMSD’s evolution and
culture change seen through the eyes of "Uncle Chow", an EMSD
retiree. He talks about the many benefits and the tremendous difference
that training and development has made to the Department’s activities.

Reducing Vehicle Waste
Pursuing our objectives for a cleaner and greener Hong Kong, our
Vehicle Engineering Division, with the support of the Environmental
Protection Department and Government Supplies Department, carried
out a trial on the use of retread tyres in the government’s vehicle
fleet. Over 200 vehicles participated in the scheme with highly
successful results. The use of recycled materials reduced the degree
of vehicle waste whilst also producing savings in the maintenance
of the vehicle fleet. These benefits are potentially significant
in view of the total number of tyres — last year 14,933 tyres
were used — in the Division’s activities.
