My Actifit Report Card: May 14 2023
Today I don’t feel well and I have decided to see a doctor, but so terrible the waiting list. I’m waiting for almost 2 hours and not yet my turn.
The Hong Kong government had increased the fees for the emergency doctor from HK$100 to HK$180 alleging that they will hire more doctors in order to reduce the waiting list, however the situation hasn’t improved and patients still need to wait longer to see the practitioner.
Last week I have the experience going to the government hospital and the waiting list was 7 hours, therefore, we decided to go to a private hospital where we wait around 35 to 45 minutes.
After I know how is the waiting list in government hospital, today I have decided to come to a private hospital directly thinking the waiting list will be shortened again, however, I was wrong, seems the same like public hospital. I have even complained in the reception and they told me to continue waiting because my condition is not high risk and they need to give preference the ones in higher priority and they remind about the waiting list is 2 hours.
After wait 2 hours and half finally my turn come and I was dismiss.
Just to let you know I’m the government hospital they won’t charge you for the medicine on the contrary in private hospital they will charge for the medicine I have paid HK$350 for the consultation and HK$400 for the medicine. Also the prices for non Hong Kong residents are quite different ever HK$1200 for government hospitals and over HK$6000 in private hospital; I hope nobody get sick when visiting Hong Kong because very hard to afford it; or is recommended to buy an medical insurance before travel.
I’m sure people living here must have quite similar experience too, because Hong Kong is experiencing lack of doctors in hospitals and I saw on the news long time that the Legislative Council have proposed a debate to import non local doctor. But the health department observed this because non- local doctors should pass an exam the same like locals doctors, I think this is quite complicated because foreign doctors also should speak fluent Cantonese and English in order to work in the hospitals.
I hope to get well soon and have a nice weekend to everyone.

Sorry about that. The government needs to do better. They don't need to wait for something terrible to happen before they could take concrete action.
I hope you get well soon.
Thanks for your comment @mawellmarcusart, is very complicated about this matter. However Hong Kong, still a nice place.
Sorry to hear about your experience. 7 hours of waiting is terrible, even 2.5 hours!

Espero te encuentres mejor! El servicio público es un poco lento, sin embargo, comparado con México, todavía es un servicio mucho mejor. En México hay que destinar todo el día para una consulta.
Por otro lado, aquí en Hong Kong, cuando la consulta no es realmente una emergencia recomiendan acudir a las clínicas. Sin embargo, la aplicación para las consultas siempre muestra que no hay cupo. Intenté reservar directamente en una clínica, pero ellos te envían a la aplicación. Así que hay que tener suerte para que haya lugar en alguna clínica.
Cuídate mucho @georgehive
Gracias por tu comentario @aljif7, Me olvide mencionar en la publicación eso de la aplicación HA-go (Health Authority) porque cuando buscas cupos a media noche o madrugada nunca hay cupos o te sale que hay cupos en Cheung Chau, Lama Island or Peng Chau, la verdad no se cómo funciona ese sistema.
Felizmente ya estoy mejor espero estar de vuelta en el trabajo mañana. Saludo
