The Elderly Health Care Voucher Greater Bay Area Pilot Scheme has been extended to include the Fifth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University (FIFAH-SYSU) and Zhuhai People’s Hospital (ZHPH) in Zhuhai from June 26, the Government announced today.
Together with the two additional service points, a total of 11 service points in the bay area will be allowed to use Elderly Health Care Vouchers (EHCVs), benefitting more than 1.78 million eligible Hong Kong seniors.
EHCVs are applicable for outpatient healthcare services provided by 16 designated departments at the FIFAH-SYSU, and those provided by 15 designated ZHPH departments.
The arrangements for shared use of EHCVs between spouses and the EHCV Pilot Reward Scheme are also applicable to the two Zhuhai hospitals.
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 be extended to the two hospitals from June 26, to facilitate Hong Kong citizens in using their electronic health records across the boundary.
Call 2838 2311 for enquiries on the EHCV Scheme.
