Q: How can elderly have health assessment (health check)?

A: The Primary Healthcare Commission has set up District Health Centres (DHCs) or DHC Expresses in 18 districts to provide services including health risk factor assessment. Citizens residing or working in the district of the corresponding DHC / DHC Express can register as a DHC / DHC Express member and enjoy their services. For more details on DHCs and DHC Expresses, please visit the webpage www.dhc.gov.hk/en/.

Q: What if I fall sick while waiting for my health assessment​?

A: Elders should pay attention to their health. If you feel unwell or anything unusual, please consult a doctor promptly instead of waiting for the health assessment​.

Q: What do I need to bring along on the day of health assessment​?

1. Original copy of your valid Hong Kong Identity Card or other proof of identity
2. Fees
3. Record of chronic medications (such as original drug packages)

5. For Comprehensive Social Security Allowance (CSSA) recipients and those with medical waiver, please bring the related documents
6. Document bearing residential address (applicable to new cases or changes in address)

Q: What if there is a typhoon or rainstorm on the day of my health assessment​?
