Hospital Authority strengthens public holiday general out-patient clinic services
*********************************************************************************
The spokesperson for the Hospital Authority (HA) today (September 29) announced that starting from October, the Nam Cheong Family Medicine Clinic of the Kowloon West Cluster will strengthen its services by providing general out-patient clinic (GOPC) services on Sundays and public holidays to facilitate the public in seeking medical care during the holidays.
Including the Nam Cheong Family Medicine Clinic, a total of 15 GOPCs will provide public holiday GOPC services on National Day (October 1) holiday (see table below). Members of the public can make appointments through the telephone appointment system or the "Book GOPC" function on the "HA Go" mobile application.
As influenza activity remains at a high level, the HA spokesperson appeals to members of the public to receive vaccinations early. Public hospitals and out-patient clinics of the HA have started providing seasonal influenza vaccinations to eligible persons to dovetail with the Government Vaccination Programme 2025/26. Eligible patients may receive vaccinations at their scheduled follow-up appointments at clinics. Patients with distant follow-up appointment dates may visit or contact the respective clinics for necessary arrangements.
Meanwhile, the HA spokesperson reminds the public to stay vigilant about personal and environmental hygiene during the holidays to avoid spreading diseases. Members of the public who develop respiratory symptoms should wear masks and seek medical advice promptly. Non-emergency patients should avoid using A&E services and instead seek treatment at GOPCs, private doctors or 24-hour out-patient services at private hospitals to reduce pressure on public hospital A&Es. Members of the public can visit the Health Bureau's Primary Care Directory www.pcdirectory.gov.hk to choose a family doctor and view related clinic service information.
