Summary:Nonetheless, these medical services provided by the Hospital Authority mostly involve specialist care that eventually dominates a 'treatment-based' patient care system and plays down preventive care. The proposed packages will encourage individuals to build a long-term relationship with a self-selected family doctor supported by a community coordinator. Through coordination and networking, the future healthcare model will provide public access to screening, health planning, community care and individual advice/intervention by a family doctor.
