1. 香港急症室收費幾多？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#a-and-e-fee

   公營急症室由醫院管理局按官方收費表收費，符合資格人士與非符合資格人士的收費不同；搜尋熱度最高的其實是這條收費問題，但金額會隨政策檢討而變，須看醫管局現行表。

   Public A&E services are charged under the Hospital Authority’s official fee schedule, at different rates for eligible and non-eligible persons. The amount is revised over time, so the published schedule governs.

2. 香港綜援幾多錢？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#cssa-amount

   綜援冇單一金額：每月款項由「標準金額」（按家庭人數及類別）加上補助金與特別津貼（例如租金、子女教育）組成。2024/25年度綜援個案194,000宗，發放款項223.53億港元。

   There is no single figure: a CSSA payment combines a standard rate (by household size and category) with supplements and special grants such as rent and schooling. In 2024/25 there were 194,000 CSSA cases and HK$22.353 billion was paid out.

3. 香港人點解咁長命？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#life-expectancy

   香港的出生時平均預期壽命為男性83.3年、女性88.7年（臨時數字），是全球最高之列。主要原因是嬰兒及中青年死亡率極低、公共醫療可及性高、傳染病控制良好，以及吸煙率相對低。

   Expectation of life at birth is 83.3 years for men and 88.7 years for women (provisional) — among the highest in the world. Very low infant and mid-life mortality, accessible public healthcare, strong communicable-disease control and comparatively low smoking rates all contribute.

4. 香港有冇官方醫院排名？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#hospital-ranking

   冇。香港冇由政府發布的醫院排名；公營醫院由醫院管理局按聯網管理，官方公布的是服務量、輪候時間及質素指標，而不是排行榜。坊間排名多為媒體或商業機構自行編製。

   No. There is no government-issued ranking of Hong Kong hospitals. Public hospitals are run by the Hospital Authority through clusters, and official data covers volumes, waiting times and quality indicators rather than league tables.

5. 「香港腳」點解叫香港腳？ 文化、飲食與日常 · 答案見 /questions#hong-kong-foot

   「香港腳」是足癬（真菌感染）的俗稱。名稱源自十九世紀至二十世紀初，來港的英國士兵與僑民在潮濕悶熱環境下普遍患上足癬，回國後同類症狀被稱為「香港腳」；與香港的氣候及當年駐軍生活條件有關，唔係香港獨有病症。

   “Hong Kong foot” is the Chinese colloquial name for athlete’s foot (tinea pedis). It dates to the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when British troops and residents in Hong Kong’s hot, humid climate commonly developed the infection — the name followed them home. The condition is not unique to Hong Kong.

6. 香港醫療制度係點？公立醫院與私家醫院有什麼分別？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#hong-kong-healthcare-system-public-private

   香港醫療體制分公立與私家兩大系統。公立系統由醫院管理局（HA）營運 40 多間醫院與門診，收費低廉、排隊較長；私家醫院、私家診所與專科醫生按市場收費，輪候時間短。所有永久居民享有公立服務收費。

   Hong Kong has a two-tier healthcare system: public and private. The public system, run by the Hospital Authority, operates over 40 hospitals and clinics with heavily subsidised fees and longer waiting times; private hospitals, clinics and specialists charge market rates with shorter queues. All permanent residents qualify for subsidised public care.

7. 香港社會福利有什麼？綜援、生果金、長者生活津貼分別如何申請？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#hong-kong-social-welfare-cssa-old-age

   香港的社會保障與福利主要由社會福利署（SWD）管理。綜合社會保障援助（CSSA，綜援）是最後安全網；高齡津貼（生果金）、長者生活津貼（長生津、普通/高額）是長者為主的津貼；另設綜合家居照顧、安老院舍、關愛基金等配套。

   Social security and welfare in Hong Kong are mainly administered by the Social Welfare Department. The Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) scheme is the safety net of last resort. Old Age Allowance (“Fruit Subsidy”), the Ordinary and Higher Old Age Living Allowances target the elderly; additional pillars include home care, residential homes and the Community Care Fund.

8. 香港十大死亡原因同癌症數據邊個部門公布？點解死亡宗數同發病個案唔可以混用？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#health-top-cancers-sources-caveats

   十大死亡原因（包括癌症）由衞生署按死因登記處確認嘅主要死因點算並每年公布；癌症發病個案則由香港癌症資料統計中心按登記冊匯總。兩者口徑、時點同統計方法唔同，唔可以互相加減。

   The ten leading causes of death, including cancer, are counted by the Department of Health from the principal cause confirmed at death registration and published annually. Cancer incidence cases, by contrast, are compiled by the Hong Kong Cancer Registry from the registry. The two bases, reference dates and methods differ and must not be subtracted or added together.

9. 香港醫生、護士、牙醫、藥劑師同中醫嘅註冊人數邊個部門公布？ 經濟與金融 · 答案見 /questions#licensed-professions-year-end-counts

   醫生、護士、牙醫、藥劑師、中醫等專業註冊人數由對應法定監管機構按年公布（醫委會、護士管理局、牙醫管理委員會、藥劑業及毒藥管理局、中醫藥管理委員會等），全部有明確年度。

   Registered counts of doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and Chinese-medicine practitioners are published annually by the relevant statutory regulators, such as the Medical Council, the Nursing Council, the Dental Council, the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and the Chinese Medicine Council, all with explicit years.

10. 香港有邊啲官方健康檢查統計（學童肥胖、近視率）？有冇慢性疾病普查？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#cancer-statistics-preventive-checks

    衞生署學生健康服務每年公布學童肥胖率等健康檢查統計，衞生署亦定期做人口健康調查統計慢性疾病患病率，另有傳染病呈報數字，全屬官方健康硬數據，有明確年度同方法。

    The DH Student Health Service publishes yearly figures on child obesity, while DH runs population health surveys on chronic-disease prevalence and the CHP issues communicable-disease notifications — all official health data with clear years and methods.

11. 政府收費有咩分類？水費、電費、公立醫院收費邊個部門負責？ 政制、法律與治安 · 答案見 /questions#government-water-electricity-medical-fees

    政府收費按部門同法例分為多類：水費由水務署、電費由兩間電力公司（受政府監管）、公立醫院收費由醫院管理局按政府政策釐定，各有官方收費表同調整記錄。

    Government charges fall into categories by department and statute: water charges are set by the Water Supplies Department, electricity tariffs by the two power companies under regulation, and public-hospital fees by the Hospital Authority under government policy — each with official schedules and adjustment records.

12. 香港空氣質素同環境數據由邊個部門監測？ 政制、法律與治安 · 答案見 /questions#air-quality-environment-data

    空氣質素由環境保護署（EPD）透過監測網絡公布，涵蓋懸浮粒子、二氧化氮、臭氧等。溫室氣體、廢物、水質等環境數據亦由環保署及相關部門公布，全屬官方數據。

    Air quality is monitored by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) through its monitoring network, covering particulate matter and ozone. Greenhouse-gas, waste and water-quality data are also published by EPD and related departments as official figures.

13. 香港嘅食水可唔可以安全直接飲？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#is-hong-kong-water-safe-to-drink

    以官方監測衡量，香港食水安全：水務署一直按世界衞生組織《飲用水水質準則》供應食水，並按《香港食水標準》恒常監測；2024年的「優化監測計劃」在644個隨機處所的水龍頭檢測六種金屬、餘氯及大腸桿菌，全部處所都符合香港食水標準。

    By official monitoring, Hong Kong drinking water is safe: the Water Supplies Department supplies water per the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality and monitors against the Hong Kong Drinking Water Standards (HKDWS). In 2024 its Enhanced Programme tested six metals, residual chlorine and E. coli at 644 randomly selected taps and every sampled premise complied with the HKDWS.

14. 香港醫療券幾多歲可以攞？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#hong-kong-medical-voucher

    長者醫療券計劃下，年滿65歲並持有有效香港身份證（或豁免登記證明書）的長者即可使用。資格由踏入65歲該年的1月1日起生效，毋須預先登記，第一次使用時由服務提供者免費開設個人醫療券戶口。

    Under the Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme, residents aged 65 or above holding a valid Hong Kong identity card (or a Certificate of Exemption) qualify. Eligibility starts on 1 January of the year you turn 65; there is no prior enrolment, and a provider opens your free voucher account on first use.

15. 香港有冇安樂死？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#hong-kong-euthanasia

    香港冇安樂死。現行法例下，無論主動安樂死（由他人施以致命手段）抑或協助自殺，都屬刑事罪行，可被控誤殺、謀殺或協助自殺罪。香港目前並無任何合法化安樂死嘅法定程序。

    Euthanasia is not legal in Hong Kong. Under current law, both active euthanasia and assisted suicide are criminal offences, chargeable as manslaughter, murder or aiding and abetting suicide. There is no statutory process for legalised euthanasia.

16. 香港保險公司可以點樣查閱投保人嘅醫療紀錄？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#hong-kong-insurance-medical-records

    按保監局指引同《個人資料（私隱）條例》，保險公司喺承保或處理索償時，如需查閱投保人嘅醫療紀錄，必須取得投保人嘅明確書面同意。未經同意擅自查閱屬違反私隱條例。投保人亦有權要求保險公司告知查閱咗邊啲紀錄。

    Under Insurance Authority guidelines and the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, insurers must obtain the policyholder's explicit written consent before accessing their medical records during underwriting or claims handling. Unauthorised access breaches the Privacy Ordinance. Policyholders also have the right to be informed of which records were accessed.

17. 香港長者醫療券有幾多錢？邊個可以申請？ 醫療與福利 · 答案見 /questions#hong-kong-elderly-health-voucher

    長者醫療券每年發放 HK$2,000，可累積至上限 HK$8,000。65 歲或以上、持有效香港身份證嘅長者可使用，用嚟支付私營醫療服務費用。
