Safety Guidelines

Healthcare

Hong Kong has a well-developed healthcare system with both public and private healthcare facilities. The public healthcare system is known for its high standard of medical care. Emergency services can be accessed by dialling 999. The government-operated Hospital Authority manages public hospitals, clinics, and emergency services. It is important for tourists to have travel insurance that covers medical expenses, as healthcare can be costly for non-residents. Also, it is advisable to check if the country of origin of the tourists has a reciprocal healthcare agreement with Hong Kong to receive healthcare benefits.
