The Council has been awarded the operation service contract by the Food and Health Bureau for a three-year operation of the Wong Tai Sin District Health Centre (WTSDHC) to provide district-based healthcare services including health promotion, health risk factors assessment, chronic disease management and community rehabilitation.

The Core Centre of WTSDHC is located at 2/F, Kai Chuen Shopping Centre, Kai Chuen Court, Diamond Hill, Kowloon. Four satellite centres are also set up in the sub-districts of Wong Tai Sin district, which include Wong Tai Sin (Central); Wong Tai Sin (North) - Tsz Wan Shan; Wong Tai Sin (South-west) – Lok Fu; and Wong Tai Sin (East) – Ngau Chi Wan. Primary healthcare services, including health promotion, health assessment, chronic disease management and community rehabilitation, will be provided to raise public awareness on personal health management, enhance disease prevention, and strengthen medical and rehabilitation services in the community.

The Welfare Council will strive to establish WTSDHC as a district health resources hub through district-based approach, medical-social collaboration and public-private partnership. A multi-disciplinary network of medical and healthcare practitioners (including doctors, Chinese medicine practitioners, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, optometrists, dietitians, podiatrists and medical laboratories) practising within or next to the service district will be developed. WTSDHC will also seek to coordinate and collaborate with various social welfare organisations, medical and healthcare operators and other community partners which provide healthcare, social welfare and related services in the district, and make referrals as necessary.

Medical and healthcare practitioners, NGOs, other service providers and community partners interested in future collaboration with the WTSDHC and joining the network are welcome to contact us (Tel: 3611 9669; Fax: 3753 5308).
