1 in 4 Hongkongers unaware of coming public healthcare fee changes: survey

A recent survey by Hong Kong’s biggest workers’ union found that 25% of residents don’t know about upcoming changes to public healthcare fees—specifically, an expansion of waivers for low-income patients. Lawmakers are pushing the government to do a better job publicizing the reforms, which kick in half a year from now. The study also showed confusion among some respondents about how the new safety net measures will work.
