HKU-SZH hosted a press conference on healthcare services provision to cross-border citizens on 15 April 2022, right after the HKSAR announced the extension of the Special Support Scheme (Scheme) for Chronic Disease Patients of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority in Guangdong to 9 November 2022, to enable patients who have been stranded in Mainland China to seek follow-up consultation during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 2022, HKU-SZH received more than 35,600 patients under the Scheme.
As a pilot medical institution for the instruction of drugs and medical devices in urgent clinical use that have been listed in Hong Kong and Macao but not in the Mainland China, HKU-SZH has successfully imported 13 urgently needed drugs and four medical devices as of March 2022 under the Hong Kong and Macao Medicine and Equipment Connect, benefiting more than 450 people.
