Health
 

Hong Kong provides world-class health care facilities in 39 public hospitals, 12 private hospitals and numerous private clinics.

A visitor using Accident and Emergency services in a public hospital will have to pay HK$570 per visit. However, the Hong Kong Government places the welfare of patients before cost. If a visitor requiring emergency care is unable to pay immediately, billing can be delayed. Please click here to visit GovHK for a list of public and private hospitals and institutions, plus general outpatient clinics.

Vaccination certificates are usually not required for entering or leaving Hong Kong. In case of sudden changes, however, visitors are advised to check with their local travel carriers closer to their time of travel.

For more health advice, visit the Department of Health website or the Travel Health website.
