The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mr Leung Chun-ying, said on the 3rd that due to the rapid ageing of the population and the rising expectations of the community for medical services, the demand for quality medical services in Hong Kong will continue to rise in the coming years. The SAR Government has earmarked 200 billion yuan (HK$, the same below) to the Hospital Authority (HA) to promote the 10-year hospital development plan.
In the morning, the HA's 2016 seminar was held. In his speech, Mr Leung said that Hong Kong has implemented a two-track medical system and public and private services have become one of the most efficient health care systems in the world.
Liang Zhenying said that the SAR government will continue to adhere to the dual-track medical system, especially the commitment to public health care. In the past five years, the government's expenditure on public medical services has increased by nearly 50% to about $68 billion this fiscal year. He is confident that Hong Kong's medical system will continue to grow.
At the opening ceremony, the Chairman of the Hospital Authority, Mr Leung Chi-yan, thanked the Government for setting aside $200 billion to promote the 10-year hospital development plan. "The plan is to enable the HA to expand and upgrade its medical facilities. It is expected that the hospital will be able to add 5,000 beds in the next 10 years. And about 90 operating rooms, which are 18% and 40% higher than the current service capacity."
Liang Zhiren said that the future development concept also includes the construction of a connected rehabilitation building near the emergency inpatient ward when building a new hospital or rebuilding facilities, so that patients with stable conditions can be quickly sent from the emergency ward to the rehabilitation ward. At the same time, it is planned to introduce appropriate new technologies, such as minimally invasive surgical techniques, to shorten the length of hospital stay, thereby greatly improving the service capacity.
Liang Boxian, Chief Executive Officer of the Hospital Authority, delivered a keynote speech. He pointed out that the proportion of people aged 65 and over in Hong Kong will jump from 15% in 2014 to 33% in 2064.
He also said that the chances of admission to the elderly are about four times higher than those of young people, especially in the year of death. The service utilization rate of elderly patients in the year of death was 10 times higher than that of other discharged patients. It is also estimated that the number of deaths per year in Hong Kong will increase by 50% to 69,000 in 2035, and will double to 92,000 by 2046.
Mr Leung said that there is an urgent need in Hong Kong to formulate and implement a new class of advanced patient relief treatment and terminal care services. The HA must step up treatments to cope with the growing demand for chronic disease management, provide health and emotional support to patients and their caregivers, and use limited resources to achieve optimal results.
Mr Leung said that the Bureau will work closely with the SAR Government to promote a better policy and legal framework, promote further care and end-of-life care planning, and provide relief services outside the hospital environment.
The content of this year's seminar is centered around the core values ​​of the Hospital Authority: "People First, Professionalism, Teamwork, Dedication", which aims to promote new medical knowledge and experience exchange, promote modern medical service models, and enable industry and stakeholders. Explore and discuss contemporary medical service concepts together.
For two days from the day, more than 100 speakers from China, overseas and Hong Kong shared professional opinions, medical knowledge and experience with more than 5,000 medical staff and scholars attending the conference.
The anesthetic mask can be attached to the patient's face, delivering oxygen and volatile anesthetic gas to the patient.
Oxygen Masks are devices that are constructed to supply oxygen or other gases to an individual. Masks of this type fit snugly over the nose and mouth, and are equipped with a tube that connects the Oxygen Mask to a storage tank where the oxygen is contained. The Oxygen Mask is made from PVC, as they are light in weight, they are more comfortable than some other masks, increasing patient acceptance.
The Nebulizers are connected by tubing to a compressor, that causes compressed air or oxygen to blast at high velocity through a liquid medicine to turn it into an aerosol, which is then inhaled by the patient, and the medicine in the form of a liquid solution is loaded into the device upon use. The Nebulizers are commonly used for patients in hospitals who have difficulty using inhalers, such as in serious cases of respiratory disease, or severe asthma attacks, it is also for ease of use with young children or the elderly.
