The Prince Philip Dental Hospital () is a dental teaching hospital in Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong. It houses the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Hong Kong and is governed by the Prince Philip Dental Hospital Ordinance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.legislation.gov.hk/blis_pdf.nsf/6799165D2FEE3FA94825755E0033E532/1C6F7FBF1DF7F8C2482575EF00242D75?OpenDocument&bt=0 )〕
==History==
Construction on the $200 million hospital, designed by the Architectural Services Department, began in 1979.〔 It was planned as a response to a shortage of dentists in the territory. It was opened on 24 March 1981 by Prince Philip, then-president of the British Dental Association.
Soon after the hospital opened, the Independent Commission Against Corruption carried out an extensive investigation into the provision of equipment at the new facility due to suspected commercial fraud. Much of the original equipment were suspected copies of reputable models and were not fully operable. Repairs and replacements had to be carried out on all dental chairs, stools, bunsen burners, dental drills, instrument modules, ultrasonic scalers, and operating lights. Investigators stated that there was no health threat to the public. In 1983 the hospital board chairman Lydia Dunn stated that the hospital was one of the foremost dental teaching hospitals in the world.
A 1984 report by the Audit Commission stated that 23% of the original equipment in the hospital was faulty, blaming the blunder on mismanagement and confused responsibility. Still, the hospital was considered world-class, and the first cohort of dental graduates eased the critical shortage of dentists in Hong Kong from 1985 onward.
