Hong Kong dental clinics meet quotas but face ongoing registration challenges

Credited from: SCMP

  • Some public dental clinics in Hong Kong successfully filled quotas despite challenges with their new waiting list arrangement.
  • Many elderly residents faced difficulties, primarily due to computer illiteracy and issues with online registration.
  • Patients must arrive within two hours of receiving a call for available slots, raising concerns about accessibility.
  • The Department of Health's changes, moving from a token queue system to online registration, showed promise but also revealed a high absentee rate.
  • Over 70% of absentees were aged 65 or older, indicating the need for better awareness and support for elderly patients in managing appointments.
