Public Private Partnership

The Power of Public-Private Partnerships

As one of the largest private healthcare providers in Hong Kong, Quality HealthCare has been committed to supporting the Government’s policy through various public-private partnership programs, which alleviate burden on the public healthcare system by offering quality medical services to the public.

In view of the challenges faced by the public health system, the Hong Kong government has been actively promoting public-private partnerships (PPP) over the past decade. Quality HealthCare published a report which looks at what makes an effective PPP, reviews Hong Kong’s experience with PPP programmes, and outlines recommendations for two new PPPs - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Common Mental Disorders (CMD), which will potentially help to save billions in hospital acute care costs by 2037.

Childhood & Elderly "Influenza Vaccination Subsidy Scheme", Department of Health

In Hong Kong, influenza usually peaks from January to March and from July to August. It takes about 2 weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in our body. It is important to vaccine early for protection.

Eligible Hong Kong residents are entitled to Government subsidy per dose of seasonal influenza vaccination received from private doctors enrolled in the Scheme. Quality HealthCare supports the Scheme every year to help safeguard the health of children and elders.
