Time flies, Hong Kong has already reached the first anniversary of the country’s first case of COVID-19 pandemic. As one of the largest medical groups in Hong Kong, Human Health shoulders the responsibility of caring for its employees and the community. We must stick to our posts, actively pursue social responsibilities, and use our medical expertise and stay at the forefront of the fight against the epidemic. Also, with a strong medical team provides reliable guidance for the public, we actively assist in relevant anti-epidemic actions and responds to social needs. Since the first imported case, Human Health has been taking all necessary precautions, taking the lead in further strengthening relevant infection control measures in all medical centers. Until the end of January 2020, more locally confirmed cases began to appear. Faced with the rapid spread of the epidemic and the increasing number of cases of unknown origin, Human Health understands that before a vaccine is available, citizens should be encouraged to test as soon as possible and cut the chain of transmission. It is the key to fighting the epidemic.

Since February 2020, we have fully participated in the Enhanced Laboratory Surveillance Programme of the Department of Health, taking the lead in providing new coronavirus tests. Until the third wave of local epidemics broke out in July, faced with a serious shortage of testing, Human Health has closely negotiated with multiple testing agencies to set up collection points in different regional centers for the convenience of the public, and reduced testing prices while significantly increasing daily testing The quota has reached more than 1,000 to meet the needs of citizens for testing and reduce the burden on citizens. From July to August, we have processed more than 20,000 tests and successfully identified more than 100 confirmed cases, contributing to the control of the community epidemic.

To cater for public health and cross-border customs clearance needs, we provide different testing options, including government laboratories, express services, etc., and support electronic reports. In September 2020, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government launched a two-week COVID-19 universal community testing program. Human Health Medical Group actively participated and supported, and dispatched medical staff with extensive medical experience to provide services in Tsuen Wan and Tsing Yi community testing centers. At present, our medical team continues to co-organize and provide testing services in various districts, including supporting community testing centers, specific groups, company groups, etc., and providing professional process recommendations and manpower arrangements for testing services.

In addition, all doctors of Human Health have cooperated with the government's instructions to registered doctors, stipulating that people suspected of being infected should undergo mandatory testing, hoping to achieve the goal of community prevention and control.

Provide outreach and remote consultation services

In order to promote and promote primary health care, the group's outreach medical service team has so far provided relevant lectures, epidemic prevention skills training, influenza vaccination, etc. for elderly homes and company groups in different institutions.

In the past few months, many people have tried to minimize going out to reduce the risk of infection, but for some chronically ill patients who need to go to the hospital for regular checkups or treatment, in order to prevent the new coronavirus, they have not been able to go to the hospital or clinic for follow-up treatment in time To this end, Human Health provides remote consultation services so that people in need can get the medical services they need in time.

Fully prepare for vaccination

Vaccination is the world's best hope for getting out of the epidemic. Human Health has expressed its full support for the new coronavirus vaccination plan being prepared by the government. In addition to the general mobilization team to fight the epidemic, the group has recruited relevant medical personnel to respond to emergencies and make related deployments at any time. We will also maintain close communication with the government and the industry, and continue to actively fight the epidemic with the public.
