Public and Private Healthcare Services

The chart below illustrates the overall structure of the healthcare system and the services provided in Hong Kong:

 

Health Bureau

The Health Bureau is responsible for forming policies and allocating resources for the running of Hong Kong’s health services. It also ensures these policies are carried out effectively to protect and promote public health, provide lifelong holistic health care to every citizen of Hong Kong, and ensure that no one is denied adequate medical treatment due to lack of means.

The Department of Health (DH) is the Government’s health adviser and agency to execute healthcare policies and statutory functions. It safeguards the community’s health through a range of promotional, preventive, curative and rehabilitative services.

Private Health Care

There are a number of private hospitals and medical services provided by the private healthcare sector. DH regulates licensed private healthcare facilities under the Private Healthcare Facilities Ordinance (Cap. 633) and medical clinics registered under the Medical Clinics Ordinance (Cap. 343).  DH monitors their compliance with relevant Ordinance and Codes of Practice by conducting inspections and investigating incidents in these private healthcare facilities and medical clinics. All Western medicine practitioners practising in Hong Kong have to register with the Medical Council of Hong Kong (MCHK). MCHK is a statutory body responsible for registration and professional discipline of medical practitioners to maintain professional standards for protection of the public.
