Since October 18,2021, the Health Bureau has awarded a service contract to the Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council to operate the Islands DHC Express (ID DHCE), proving community-based primary Healthcare services to residents. To raise awareness of Disease prevention and enhance citizen’s ability to manage their health, ID DHCE promotes Healthy lifestyles to prevent Chronic Diseases, offering Disease prevention services, including Health promotion and education, Disease prevention, Health assessments, and consultations, aiming to reduce or prevent the occurrence of Chronic Diseases. Through Health Risk Factor assessment or screening services, ID DHCE assists individuals at Health risk in managing Chronic Diseases early to prevent deterioration. It also supports Chronic Disease patients in controlling their conditions (such as Hypertension, Diabetes, Low Back Pain and OA Knee etc) through Patient Empowerment Program.
ID DHCE also serves as a Community Resource Hub, networking of primary Healthcare service providers in the community to establish a community-based Healthcare Network. This network facilitates citizens in addressing their Health needs within the Community and preventing Chronic Diseases.
