Accident & Emergency (A&E) Services

16 public hospitals in Hong Kong provide A & E services. The registration fee for patients with HKID card is $180.  It includes medical consultation and medication.  A triage system is implemented in all A&E Departments so that patients with more urgent needs can receive immediate treatments. Patients are divided into five categories according to their medical condition: critical, emergency, urgent, semi-urgent and non-urgent. The priority of receiving treatment is based on the severity of the patients’ conditions instead of their registration time.  The A & E services are aimed for patients with genuine needs. This resource should not be abused.  Patients whose conditions are not so urgent should visit a public or private clinic.

Private clinics and hospitals do not follow the public medical welfare pricing scheme.  Prices of different treatments vary, depending on the costs of the treatments and the premium charged by each clinic or hospital.

Private clinics

Private clinics are operated by private practice doctors or medical groups in different districts.  Students can walk-in to get medical services at any nearby clinics. Waiting time at private clinics is usually shorter than the public outpatient clinics but the charges are higher. The consultation fees of general practice private clinics usually start from around $250, which include medicine. Consultation fees for private specialist clinics are even higher, which normally excludes other specialized services and medicine.
