Hospital Authority Family Medicine Outpatient Services arrangements on day following Birthday of the Buddha holiday
The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:
The Hospital Authority (HA) spokesperson today (May 23) announced that 15 Family Medicine Clinics (FMCs) will provide public holiday Family Medicine Outpatient Services on the day following the Birthday of the Buddha holiday (May 25) (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 reminded 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.

HKETO San Francisco champions Hong Kong cinema at Film Festivals in US West
With support from the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in San Francisco (HKETO San Francisco), four Hong Kong feature films, ranging from restored masterpieces to recent award-winners, were showcased at film festivals in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Seattle from late April to mid-May. The screenings drew more than 1 500 moviegoers across seven showings, highlighting the enthusiasm for Hong Kong cinema in the region.
Among the classics was "The Arch", restored in 4K as part of the M+ Restored, an initiative by the museum of contemporary visual culture in Hong Kong that aims to increase the visibility of Hong Kong's rich cinematic heritage through the restoration of nine feature-length films. First premiered at the 1968 San Francisco International Film Festival, the newly restored film returned to the spotlight as a highlight of the festival's 2026 edition, 58 years after its original debut.
The Chairman of the Board of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, Mr Bernard Chan, attended the San Francisco screening of "The Arch" on April 30 (San Francisco time). "By sharing M+ Restored films internationally, we aim to strengthen global recognition of Hong Kong's cinematic legacy and its influence on world cinema, which is a very important part of Hong Kong and Asia's contemporary visual culture," he said. In addition to San Francisco, the film was also shown at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive of the University of California, Berkeley on May 3 (Berkeley time).
Another landmark film restored through M+ Restored is "Love Massacre", a 1981 Hong Kong New Wave classic. It was featured in the Hong Kong Cinema Showcase at the CAAMFest 2026 in San Francisco. The film's cinematographer, Brian Lai, travelled from Hong Kong to attend the screening and took part in a post-screening sharing session with the audience on May 10 (San Francisco time). He also met with local media at a reception hosted by HKETO San Francisco the day before, sharing insights from the film's production and restoration, in which he played an active role.
In addition to timeless classics, recent Hong Kong films were also featured. Released last year, "Another World" was among the Hong Kong titles shown at the 42nd Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival. This fantasy animated film, directed by Tommy Ng, is the highest-grossing Hong Kong animation to date. To celebrate Hong Kong cinema, a pre-screening reception was held at the Directors Guild of America Theatre in Los Angeles on May 1 (Los Angeles time).
Another recent highlight was "Sons of the Neon Night", a major crime thriller featuring a star-studded cast of Hong Kong action legends. The film swept the Hong Kong Film Awards 2026 by winning eight awards. It was selected for the Hong Kong showcase at the 52nd Seattle International Film Festival with a screening on May 16 (Seattle time).
At various festival events, the Director of the HKETO San Francisco, Mr DC Cheung, thanked the organisers for their long-standing partnership in bringing Hong Kong movies to the Western United States. He also acknowledged support from the Film Development Fund and the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency of Hong Kong.
