Martin Wong on Hong Kong’s healthcare challenges: Public hospitals are swamped, private hospitals are expensive
JC School of Public Health and Primary Care, CUHK, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Public Hospitals are Swamped, Private Hospitals are Expensive – How Can Hong Kong Meet Its Growing Healthcare Needs?
With limited space, a fast-aging population, and increasing demands for medical services, Hong Kong faces mounting healthcare challenges. Prof. Martin Wong of JCSPHPC recently appeared as a guest on SPEEDchat@Metro Radio, proposing strategies such as disease prevention via more wide-spread primary care and enhancing affordability for faster, private healthcare service under the co-payment model. Prof. Wong also talked about:
- Enhancing Health Management: Encouraging citizens to take proactive steps in screenings and disease prevention, such as monitoring blood pressure, colorectal cancer screening, and vaccinations.
- Reducing System Pressure: Preventive measures help reduce the number of severe cases, lowering healthcare costs and relieving public systems.
- Promoting Community Health: Community-based health campaigns raise awareness while fostering social connections, benefiting both mental and physical well-being.
