Healthcare services were temporarily suspended after a fire broke out at a health center in Kwun Tong on Thursday morning, leading to the evacuation of about 200 staff and patients. Thick smoke was seen billowing from the men's bathroom at the Yung Fung Shee Memorial Centre East Kowloon Health Centre located in Kwun Tong at 8 am today and was dense enough to affect the patients awaiting consultation in the lobby. Services were temporarily suspended during the fire, and no one was found injured during the incident. They said the fire delayed their service by about 45 minutes but have since resumed regular operation. The spokesperson added that no staff or patients have complained of feeling unwell.
