Cataract Surgeries Programme (CSP)

In Hospital Authority (HA), there has been a steady increase in the number of cataract patients as well as lengthening of the waiting time for cataract surgery in public hospitals over the past few years. Noting the expanding aging population in Hong Kong, additional funding have had been earmarked by the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in 2007 for implementing the first pilot private-public partnership (PPP) programme, Cataract Surgeries Programme (CSP), with a view to providing additional cataract surgeries to meet the growing service demand through a PPP delivery model.
