香港中華醫學會有限公司（香港中華醫學會）協助伊利沙伯醫院在附近物色到香港逸東酒店，專供該院前線醫護人員住宿之用，為此倍感慶幸。時值該酒店作為社區隔離設施，正預備接收新冠病人，是全港唯一可騰出所有客房的酒店，而伊利沙伯醫院則剛改為2019冠狀病毒病定點救治醫院，能覓得逸東酒店而作出相應安排，可謂正合時宜。

為進一步促成此一義舉，香港中華醫學會更邀得三位善長，以私人名義慷慨捐贈港幣600萬元，作為資助伊利沙伯醫院醫護人員在逸東酒店的住宿費用。

抗疫前線人員和所需暫時住所既獲妥善安排，亦承蒙宅心仁厚的善長鼎力支持，適時捐獻，溫情洋溢。恒基兆業「抗疫基金」、Mrs Maria Chan及Mr Michael Chan三位樂善好施，香港中華醫學會謹此致以由衷謝忱。醫院管理局總辦事處2022年3月11日相關新聞稿附載如下。

The Hong Kong Chinese Medical Association Ltd. (HKCMA) proudly facilitated the identification of Eaton Hotel, which at that time was the only fully emptied hotel (while awaiting the embarkment of being a community isolation facility for infected patients) in the neighbourhood of Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH); this hotel could readily serve as a whole-hotel staff accommodation for QEH frontline healthcare workers. This identification could not have been more timely as QEH was just turned into a designated hospital for COVID patients.

The HKCMA further catalysed the implementation of a whole-hotel accommodation by securing a private donation of 6 million Hong Kong dollars from 3 generous donors for the purpose of temporary staff accommodation at Eaton Hotel.

To highlight the significance of this event, the HKCMA was there at the right time identifying the right place for the right people with a timely and heart-warming donation by three most generous and supportive donors. The HKCMA warmly extends our heartfelt gratitude to the three thoughtful donors: Henderson Development Anti-Epidemic Fund, Mrs. Maria Chan and Mr. Michael Chan.
