The Hospital Authority (HA) held several high-level meetings with healthcare delegations from various Mainland provinces, cities and autonomous region during their visit to Hong Kong for the Hospital Authority Convention 2025 (the Convention), running May 26 to 28.

The HA participated in meetings between the Health Bureau (HHB) and different delegations, including a delegation led by the Director-General of the Health Commission of Guangdong Province, Mr Liu Liqun. Both parties exchanged views on further strengthening healthcare co-operation and talent exchanges in the Greater Bay Area.
The Chairman of the HA, Mr Henry Fan, said, "The depth and breadth of the Greater Bay Area Healthcare Talents Visiting Programmes, jointly launched by both sides, has been progressively expanding and receiving widespread positive feedback. Moving forward, in alignment with the implementation of the Supplementary Medical Professions (Amendment) Bill 2025, the HA hopes to continue receiving support from the Health Commission of Guangdong Province to explore limited registration arrangements for radiographers to fully participate in clinical work and exchange experiences in Hong Kong."
In addition to meeting with the Health Commission of Guangdong Province delegation, the HA also participated in other exchange sessions co-ordinated by the HHB. These included meetings with delegations of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, the People's Government of the Xizang Autonomous Region and the Health Commission of the Xizang Autonomous Region.
During the Convention period, the HA also held separate meetings with delegations of the Beijing Municipal Health Commission, the Tianjin Municipal Health Commission, the Health Commission of Zhejiang Province and the Shanghai Hospital Development Centre. These meetings facilitated experience sharing in hospital management, financial management and talent exchanges, etc, deepening co-operation between both sides.
Furthermore, the HA arranged visits for several Mainland delegations to various public hospitals, including Queen Mary Hospital and Kwong Wah Hospital, to understand hospital operations and management, as well as the application of AI and the HA Go mobile application, etc.
The HA also took the opportunity during the visit of the Mainland delegations to hold a welcome ceremony for the doctors and nurses who came to Hong Kong for exchanges, aiming to enhance healthcare standards and expand the healthcare talent pool in both places through mutual learning and complementary strengths.
