Healthcare facility Authority service resumption plans
**************************************************
The following is provided on behalf of the Hospital Authority:
The Hospital Authority (HA) representative revealed that all non-emergency services at public health centers will resume regular tomorrow early morning (September 25).
“As weather conditions remain unstable and for the sake of safety, patients could contact the relevant hospitals or clinics if they have any special needs. The staff members will render assistance as far as practicable and patients do not need to be concerned,” the representative stated.
Clients who did not attend their consultations due to the tropical cyclone will be informed slowly in the coming week to reschedule their visits. Clients who had consultations at basic out-patient centers for episodic health problems can make a brand-new visit by means of mobile app “HA Go” or the telephone system.
The representative supplemented that public healthcare facilities and centers are anticipated to be much busier in coming days for dealing with the backlogged cases throughout the storm duration. The HA has actually released extra workforce to satisfy the service and functional requirements and offer services for afflicted clients as quickly as possible.
The HA revealed thankfulness to all frontline health care personnel who had on task throughout the passage of storm. Apart from the suspension of non-emergency services, operations at public health centers have actually usually been regular throughout the storm duration.
