The North District Community Health Centre (NDCHC) commenced the general out-patient service on 16 December. Patients receiving regular follow-ups at the Shek Wu Hui Jockey Club General Out-patient Clinic have been transferred to the NDCHC to continue their service.

On December 9, the center invited the North District Officer, North District Council members, and the North District Caring Teams for a tour of the facilities. The new clinic offers significantly more space compared to the Shek Wu Hui Jockey Club General Out-patient Clinic, along with enhanced services and facilities. It integrates a wide range of one-stop electronic services to improve the patient experience. Key features include a Smart Pharmacy, Auto Dispensing Machine, Augmented Reality rehabilitation training, etc.

We look forward to the gradual rollout of services at the NDCHC building, which is expected to further elevate the standard of healthcare in the district and provide residents with a more convenient and innovative smart healthcare experience.
