The Hospital Authority has reached an agreement with the University of Hong Kong's hospital in Shenzhen on the use of elderly healthcare vouchers.
The Food and Health Secretary, Ko Wing-man, said elderly Hong Kong citizens living on the mainland can now use the vouchers at the hospital if they have previously registered in Hong Kong.
Ko said the government will also consider extending the scheme to other hospitals in the mainland.
The HKU-Shenzhen Hospital in Futian is the first public medical institution in the mainland that is wholly managed by an outside entity. The project was established as a model for medical reform in the mainland.
