The Duchess of Kent Children's Hospital was formerly operated by the Society for the Relief of Disabled Children. It now provides specialist services in pediatric orthopedics, spinal surgery, pediatric neurology, developmental pediatrics, and pediatric dental surgery. It also provides treatment, rehabilitative services, and accommodation for patients over 18 years old, especially orthopedic patients with spinal problems.

The hospital is a renowned center for the treatment of pediatric orthopedic problems and also serves as a training center for local and overseas orthopedic surgeons, pediatric neurologists, and developmental pediatricians.

The Li Ka Shing Physiotherapy Building, donated in April 1991, helps to provide treatment, rehabilitation services, and accommodation for children with disabilities.
