EHCV extends to 12 additional GBA medical institutions
Chinese medicine hospitals will also be included.
The Greater Bay Area (GBA) Elderly Health Voucher Pilot Scheme has expanded with 12 new locations, bringing the total to 19 institutions across all nine Mainland GBA cities.
The newly-added medical institutions are Tier III Class A hospitals. This brings the total number of GBA service points accepting vouchers to 21, including two at HKU-Shenzhen Hospital, serving over 1.78 million eligible seniors.
“The extension also includes Chinese medicine hospitals for the first time to provide eligible seniors with additional choices in healthcare services,” Health Secretary Lo Chung-mau said.
Eligible people have to register with the eHealth system. The "Cross-boundary Health Record" and "Personal Folder" functions of the eHealth mobile application will also apply.
