The current term of government attaches great importance to the primary healthcare development in Hong Kong, expediting the setting up of District Health Centres (DHCs) and District Health Expresses (DHEs) by June 2022 throughout 18 districts of Hong Kong.
NGOs, as major service providers, are endowed with unprecedented opportunities and challenges addressing the health and social care needs of Hong Kong population, especially through the operation of, or collaboration with DHCs/DHEs with cross-sectoral collaboration for three levels of primary prevention and public-private partnership.
