Hong Kong Health Care and Hospitals

With the recent scares of SARS and an ongoing prevalence of Hepatitis, how to stay healthy while living in Hong Kong is one of the most important issues for families coming from abroad for the first time. The good news is that Hong Kong is in par with most developed countries in terms of its vital statistics: infant mortality rate, the life expectancy and crude birth and death rates put Hong Kong in amongst the worlds highest ranked. The Hospital Authority, the main Government body in charge of the 41 public hospitals throughout Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories offers a variety of professional services and affordable healthcare for all citizens of Hong Kong.

In addition to the extensive public hospital facilities, there are also 12 private hospitals which work in partner with the public hospitals and other health support groups. Please follow the link below to connect to the list of health partners. Private hospitals have a very different pay scale, but the waiting time is minimal compared with the public hospital and the quality of the service is among the best.

Although the Hong Kong health care system is known to provide quality service, it is strongly recommended for people who are visiting as well as those who reside in Hong Kong to have immunization against infections common in Hong Kong such as hepatitis B. There are also other communicable diseases found in Hong Kong such as TB, influenza and some food poisoning cases.
