General outpatient clinic services during Easter holidays
*********************************************************
The Hospital Authority (HA) spokesperson today (April 8) said that 13 general outpatient clinics (see table below) will continue normal services during the coming Easter holidays (April 10 to 13) to serve the community. Members of the public are reminded to make advance bookings through the telephone system as usual for an appointment.
The spokesperson remarked that the Accident and Emergency (A&E) Departments in public hospitals will also operate as usual during the holiday to serve patients with urgent medical needs. While the Emergency Response Level in public hospitals has been activated in response to the latest situation of COVID-19, infection control measures have been enhanced with universal masking for all persons entering public hospitals and clinics. Non-urgent patients are advised to consider seeking consultations at general out-patient clinics, private doctors or the 24-hour clinics of private hospitals.
The latest A&E waiting time information is available on the HA website and the "HA Touch" mobile app. Moreover, members of the public are welcome to call or browse the following hotlines and websites for the required information on related clinic services of family doctors:
