Being the world's second-largest economy, our country has granted Hong Kong the greatest development opportunity. With the unique strengths under 'one country, two systems', Hong Kong has maintained its prosperity, stability and development. The HA will continue to fully support the HKSAR Government's administration to safeguard the health of the community, fully integrate into the overall national development, and capitalise on national strategies such as the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. By deepening international collaboration and connecting with both the Mainland and the world, the HA will contribute to our country by leveraging Hong Kong's unique strengths in the healthcare sector."
