The state of health and provision of health care in Hong Kong.
In 1997, Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. The new government took control of a Western style health-care system and a population whose health is comparable to the rest of the developed world. This article describes the existing health-care system, the state of public health and some of the challenges and opportunities facing the new administration.
