HA: Relative reduction in pressure on A&E departments
Ho Wan-xia, Chief Administrative Manager (Patient Safety and Risk Management) of the Hospital Authority, said that as long as confirmed and symptomatic patients can go to designated clinics for treatment, there are still remaining quotas for designated clinics.
Patients can make an appointment by phone or through the HA app HA GO. There is also a caring fund for high-risk individuals on site.
In addition, due to the easing of the epidemic, the pressure of designated hospitals and emergency rooms has been relatively reduced. If patients have shortness of breath, fever, heart discomfort, cramps, vomiting, etc., they can go to the emergency room for consultation.
If hospitalization is required, in addition to designated hospitals, half of the emergency general beds have been converted to accept confirmed patients, and community treatment facilities can also accept patients with stable conditions.
