The Food and Health Bureau (FHB) is currently actively preparing for the establishment of District Health Centres (DHCs) in Sham Shui Po and Wong Tai Sin Districts. Residents of the districts as well as other members of the public are now invited to give their valuable views at two public consultation sessions in late September.
The DHCs aim at encouraging the public to develop a healthy lifestyle, preventing diseases, identifying health issues at an early stage, managing chronic diseases, and improving self-care ability through community rehabilitation programmes. With services focused on primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, the DHCs emphasise district-based medical-social collaboration and public-private partnership.
Details of the consultation sessions are as follows:
Public consultation session on DHC in Wong Tai Sin
Date: September 20 (Friday)
Time: 7pm to 8.30pm
Venue: Wong Tai Sin Community Centre, 104 Ching Tak Street, Wong Tai Sin
Public consultation session on DHC in Sham Shui Po
Date: September 28 (Saturday)

Venue: CCC Heep Woh Primary School (Cheung Sha Wan), 18 Tonkin Street, Cheung Sha Wan
The consultation sessions will be conducted in Cantonese. Seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
