Ms. Sindy Wong, General Secretary of Methodist Centre, and the Manager of the Wan Chai District Health Centre Express were invited to attend the kick-off ceremony of the Chronic Disease Co-Care Pilot Scheme held by Health Bureau on 13 November 2023.

The Scheme is subsidized by the government under a cost-sharing model and targets Hong Kong residents aged 45 and above without a known history of diabetes or hypertension. It involves pairing participants with family doctors, arranging screenings for diabetes and hypertension, and providing medical consultations and laboratory tests.

The above Scheme is now open for eligible citizens to participate. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact the Wan Chai District Health Centre Express (Tel: 37515768) to arrange a health risk assessment conducted by registered nurses and to obtain detailed information about the Scheme.
