Hospital Authority service resumption arrangements
**************************************************
The Hospital Authority (HA) spokesperson announced that all non-emergency services at public hospitals will resume normal tomorrow morning (September 25).
"As weather conditions remain unstable and for the sake of safety, patients could contact the relevant hospitals or clinics if they have any special needs. The staff members will render assistance as far as practicable and patients do not need to be concerned," the spokesperson said.
Patients who did not attend their appointments due to the typhoon will be notified gradually in the coming week to reschedule their appointments. Patients who had appointments at general out-patient clinics for episodic illnesses can make a new appointment via mobile app "HA Go" or the telephone system.
The spokesperson supplemented that public hospitals and clinics are expected to be much busier in coming days for handling the backlogged cases during the storm period. The HA has deployed additional manpower to meet the service and operational needs and provide services for affected patients as soon as possible.
The HA expressed gratitude to all frontline healthcare staff who had on duty during the passage of storm. Apart from the suspension of non-emergency services, operations at public hospitals have generally been normal throughout the storm period.
