Hong Kong Health

Health
Upon arrival in Hong Kong, automatic sensors will take your temperature and if it is high, you will be required to have a quick health check. Vaccination certificates are usually not required. Check with your local carriers because requirements may change. Tap water is soft in character and conforms to the guidelines for drinking-water quality recommended by the World Health Organization. However, most people prefer to drink bottled water. Mineral water including major imported brands is readily available from supermarkets and convenience stores. For more health advice, visit the Department of Health website.

Hospitals
As an international city, Hong Kong has world-class hospitals providing outstanding care. Visitors using Accident and Emergency services in Hong Kong public hospitals are charged a set fee of HK$570 per attendance, but will always be treated even if they cannot pay immediately.
