Hospital Authority family medicine outpatient services arrangements on Tuen Ng Festival holiday announced
The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:
The Hospital Authority (HA) spokesperson today (June 17) announced that 15 Family Medicine Clinics (FMCs) will provide public holiday family medicine outpatient services on the Tuen Ng Festival holiday (June 19) (see table below). Members of the public may book an appointment through the telephone appointment system, the eHealth mobile application or the "Book FMC" function in the "HA Go" mobile app.
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 and Emergency (A&E) 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.

CE meets Governor of Hainan Province
The Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, today (June 17) met with the Governor of Hainan Province, Mr Liu Xiaoming, at Government House to exchange views on further deepening co-operation between Hong Kong and Hainan. The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Algernon Yau; the Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Miss Rosanna Law; the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Miss Janice Tse Siu-wa; and the Director of the Chief Executive's Office, Ms Carol Yip, also attended the meeting.
Mr Lee welcomed Mr Liu and his delegation to Hong Kong for a Hainan Free Trade Port tourism and culture promotion event. Mr Lee said he was delighted to meet Mr Liu again following the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference in Hainan this March. Hong Kong has long been the major source of external investment in Hainan and an important trading partner. The Memorandum of Cooperation signed between the two sides last year covers five areas, namely trade and investment, finance, safe and orderly flow of data, tourism and talent exchanges, which have taken co-operation between the two places to a new level. Mr Lee noted that with the full implementation of the island-wide special customs operations at the end of last year, the Hainan Free Trade Port has rolled out free and facilitative measures for cross-border flows. As both Hong Kong and Hainan are free trade ports, he said he looks forward to further leveraging their complementary advantages and promoting synergistic development, thereby contributing to the country's high-level opening up.
Mr Lee said that Hong Kong enjoys the unique advantages of having strong support of the motherland and being closely connected to the world under the "one country, two systems" principle, ranking No. 1 globally in economic freedom. Hong Kong has risen to become the world's largest cross-boundary wealth management centre, and is also the world's largest offshore Renminbi (RMB) business hub. The Hainan Provincial People's Government has issued offshore RMB bonds in Hong Kong multiple times since 2022, and a Hainan enterprise was listed in Hong Kong last year. These fully demonstrate Hong Kong's advantages in fundraising and financing as an international financial centre. Mr Lee welcomed more Hainan companies to make good use of Hong Kong's capital market, and professional and high value-added services for fundraising and business expansion. Hong Kong plays its roles as a "super connector" and "super value-adder", and is proactively supporting Mainland enterprises, including those in Hainan, in going global and attracting overseas capital through the Task Force on Supporting Mainland Enterprises in Going Global, to jointly contribute to regional economic prosperity and better integrate into and serve the overall national development.
Mr Lee said that Hong Kong is committed to developing itself into an international tourism hub and a core demonstration zone for multi-destination tourism, capitalising on its position as an East-meets-West centre for international arts and cultural exchanges to build a city offering high-quality tourism experiences. With rich tourism resources in both places, Hong Kong and Hainan can jointly develop a wider array of tourism products. Mr Lee said he looks forward to attracting more high-value-added international visitors to travel to both places through multi-destination itineraries, and joining hands to contribute to the country's goal of building a tourism powerhouse.
