The Department of Health (DH) today (May 7) announced that the Student Health Service (StdHS) will resume some of its annual health assessments starting from May 10. The StdHS's annual health assessments for Primary One and Secondary One students in the school year 2020/21 will be gradually resumed at seven of its Student Health Service Centres (SHSCs).
The seven SHSCs are Chai Wan SHSC, Kowloon City Lions Clubs SHSC, Lam Tin SHSC, Sha Tin SHSC, South Kwai Chung SHSC, Tuen Mun SHSC and Western SHSC. Parents will be notified of the arrangements of the health assessments via their schools.
In addition, limited Special Assessment Centre (SAC) services will continue to be provided to students who require further follow-ups at SACs. These include assessment services provided by clinical psychologists, dietitians, optometrists, audiologists and scoliosis related services.
For enquiries, please contact the centres concerned during service hours, which are Monday to Friday, 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 6pm (except public holidays). Details of the centres are available at www.studenthealth.gov.hk/english/centre/centre.html.
