The Hospital Authority (HA) spokesperson today (June 28) announced that a total of 14 general out-patient clinics (GOPCs) will provide public holiday GOPC services on the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Establishment Day holiday (July 1) (see attachment). Members of the public can make appointments through the telephone appointment system or the "Book GOPC" function on the "HA Go" mobile application.

The HA spokesperson reminds the public to stay vigilant on personal and environmental hygiene during the holidays to avoid spreading diseases. Members of the public who develop respiratory symptoms should wear masks and seek medical advice promptly. Non-emergency patients should avoid using A&E services and instead seek treatment at GOPCs, private doctors or 24-hour outpatient services at private hospitals to reduce pressure on public hospital A&Es. Members of the public can visit the Health Bureau (HHB)'s Primary Care Directory to choose a family doctor and view related clinic service information.
