"Hong Kong has a comprehensive healthcare system that provides a wide range of services to its citizens. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is free for all Hong Kong residents. The quality of public healthcare is generally high, with a wide range of medical facilities and services available. Foreign residents are also able to access the public healthcare system, although they may be required to pay a fee.
