As a foreigner living in Hong Kong, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Hong Kong if they have access to public healthcare in Hong Kong. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Hong Kong, you will have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Hong Kong is comprehensive and provides a wide range of services, including preventive care, primary care, specialist care, and hospital care. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is generally of a high quality. The cost of healthcare is also relatively low, making it accessible to all," remarked another expat in Hong Kong.
