In response to Media enquiries regarding the Chronic Disease Co-Care Pilot Scheme, the Health Bureau and the Government launched the three year Chronic Disease Co-Care Pilot Scheme in November, subsidising Hong Kong residents aged without Diagnosed Diabetes Mellitus or Hypertension to be paired with family doctors for Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertenstion Screening Services in the private healthcare market to achieve the Policy Objective of early prevention, early identification and early treatment.
In March, the Pilot Scheme was expanded to include blood lipid testing, achieving full coverage of the "three highs". Participants diagnosed with prediabetes, Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, or Hyperlipidaemia after screening can proceed to the treatment phase and will be subsidised by the Government to continue their treatment with a family doctor of their choice, and subject to their health conditions, be provided with prescribed medication and dedicated nurse clinic and allied health services.
