The Hong Kong Hospital Authority said on the 29th that it will fully implement the measures to reform public medical charges on 1 January 2026. These measures will not only benefit the development of public health care, but will also strengthen protection for poor, urgent, serious, and critical patients, and are expected to benefit about 2 million people. After the implementation of the reform measures, the Hospital Authority will comprehensively strengthen protection for patients in need. By optimizing the medical expenses reduction mechanism, expanding the Samaritan Fund safety net, and setting an annual limit of HK$10,000 for public medical services, more patients in need can receive assistance.
