The Hospital website gives a brief history of the hospital:

Introduction

This gets a photo and a mention in the Hong Kong Annual report for 1955:

Situated in the densest part of the city it serves, Tsan Yuk Maternity Hospital was opened this year. Designed by Mr. Eric Cumine, it has 200 beds and cost $3,600,000 to build and equip.

Dates from the GRS website with information about Wanchai's History. The hospital is mentioned several times in the 'Major incidents':

• 1859 : St. Francis Hospital closed.
• 1869 : St. Francis Hospital re-opened by the Canossian Sisters.

Plate 3-5b in Mapping Hong Kong shows that if you stood on Queen's Road and looked up St Francis Street, you'd see this building facing you at the end of the street.

The "Peak Hospital" was founded by Dr. James Cantlie and was the second private hospital built in Hong Kong. Maude Ingall was the first matron, and Sister Annie Thompson, the second, though Dr. Cantlie did not fully approve of the way they ran the hospital. It was originally on Mt. Kellett (listed as such in 1894).  It pre-dated Matilda Hospital, by 17 years. 

Wikipedia says it opened on 14 Feb, 1872.

M.J.D. Stephens donated the residential house to Canossa, and it was modified and then opened as the first Canossa Hospital
