Healthcare in Hong Kong
Healthcare in Hong Kong exists at a high standard. Both public and private hospitals are modern and very expensive, almost on a par with healthcare costs in the US.
Public hospitals charge more to non-residents, although most expats in Hong Kong use only private hospitals. It is important to have insurance with overseas coverage and to make sure a chosen hospital is included in the coverage (although almost all Hong Kong hospitals are usually included). Doctors are English speaking and equipment is of western standards. In emergencies, ambulances take patients to the nearest hospital unless they are directed otherwise.
