World Family Doctor Day


The World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) has designated May 19th as "World Family Doctor Day" to recognize the contributions of family doctors in addressing public health crises. In response to World Family Doctor Day, Health Bureau, in collaboration with the Hong Kong College of Family Physicians, organizes the "Family Doctor Promotion Day" to promote disease prevention and the concept of having a family doctor at the community level.


Wan Chai District Health Centre Express also participated in the Family Doctor Promotion Day today (19th May). They created a short film to raise awareness about the importance of family doctors in promoting primary healthcare services. Family doctors play a vital role in primary healthcare by diagnosing and treating various illnesses, caring for patients with chronic diseases, conducting health check-ups, managing the health of individuals, providing advice on disease prevention and health information, thereby enhancing the overall health status of the population and their ability to prevent diseases.
