How to register at Public System - Queen Mary

[jwc209]

Hi all,

I want to understand how I can register for the public system. Appreciate your responses

1. I live in Pokfulam so do I just show up at Tsan Yuk Hospital with my HKID and a reference letter to register?

2. Can I go to any MCHC or it has to be Tsan Yuk Hospital for initial registration? If I register at a MCHC, will I go to that particular MCHC for subsequent antenatal check-ups or will all antenatal check-ups be at Tsan Yuk Hospital

3. Do you have a recommendation for a GP (with reasonable fee) I can see that can give me the reference letter? Will the GP do a blood test to confirm pregnancy.

Thank you

You need to call Tsan Yuk to make an appt to register.

Maternal Health

Your prenatal care will continue at Tsan Yuk.

The Drs on Caine Rd are fairly reasonable. Am not sure if they'll do a blood test or urine. Perhaps you can call and ask. Dr Chan is located a few doors away from 120 Caine Rd. His telephone # is 2540 4327

Also, have a read through this article

Thank you Rani!

I can't get through to Tsan Yuk, guess I will have to go register in person

Hey, just additional info. You'll need to call them first to make an appointment. First time registrations are only done either Tuesday or Thursday morning, if I remember it right. Also, you'll need to bring a proof of address to prove you're within their area.

You'll also need to take a letter from a doctor confirming your pregnancy; they won't register you without this. Also, be prepared for the registration appointment to last around 3 hours!! Take snacks and something to read
