Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital (Chinese: 東區尤德夫人那打素醫院; Cantonese Yale: Dūngkēui Yàuhdāk Fūyàhn Nàhdásou Yīyún) is a public acute care hospital in Hong Kong.
The hospital opened in 1993 with 1829 beds and staff of over 3000. It replaced the original Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital in Mid-Levels in Hong Kong Island and moved to Chai Wan. Assigned to the Hong Kong eastern hospital cluster and replaced the other Nethersole hospital, which relocated to the New Territories.
It is affiliated with the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong, providing clinical attachment opportunities for its medical students.
Before the establishment of the Hospital, there were only three government clinics but no hospitals in the Eastern District, a district with a population of 440,000 in the 1980s. In August 1982, several churches in the district formed an organisation to lobby the government to establish a hospital there.
After the sudden death of Governor Edward Youde in 1986, the Eastern District Board in February 1987 formally endorsed a proposal to name the new hospital after Lady Youde. The Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital commenced services on 15 October 1993. It was officially opened by Chris Patten in 1994. When Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital opened, the accident and emergency unit of the Chai Wan Health Centre moved to the new complex.
Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital was one of two new hospitals (the other being Tuen Mun Hospital) equipped with dedicated Emergency Radiation Treatment Centres (ERTCs), provided in response to concerns surrounding the 1993-1994 commissioning of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in nearby Shenzhen. Under the Hong Kong government's Daya Bay Contingency Plan, the two centres will treat and decontaminate persons affected by a nuclear accident.
