Welcome to the Homepage of the Department of Health of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

We are committed to providing quality client-oriented service. We also attach great importance to fostering partnership with the community and other health care professionals and bodies, both local and worldwide, in the joint effort to promote the health of the people of Hong Kong.
