Hospital Authority Family Medicine Outpatient Services arrangements on Labour Day holiday
The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:
The Hospital Authority (HA) spokesperson today (April 29) announced that 15 Family Medicine Clinics (FMCs) will provide public holiday Family Medicine Outpatient Services on the Labour Day holiday (May 1) (see table below). Members of the public may book an appointment through the telephone appointment system, the eHealth mobile app or the "Book FMC" function in the "HA Go" mobile application.
The spokesperson reminds the public to stay vigilant about personal and environmental hygiene during the holiday to avoid spreading diseases. Members of the public who develop respiratory symptoms should wear masks and seek medical advice promptly. The spokesperson emphasises that non-emergency patients should avoid using Accident & Emergency services and instead seek treatment at FMCs, private doctors or 24-hour outpatient services at private hospitals to reduce pressure on public hospital A&Es. Members of the public can visit the Health Bureau's Primary Care Directory www.pcdirectory.gov.hk to choose a family doctor and view related clinic service information.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson appealed to eligible members of the public, especially high-risk groups, to get vaccinated early for seasonal influenza and COVID-19 to reduce the chance of infection for themselves and their family members, as well as to reduce critical cases and deaths.
