HKCA Leadership Meets LegCo Member Dr. David Lam

Strengthening Chiropractic Care in Hong Kong

Tonight, HKCA President Dr. Leonard Wong and VP Dr. Claudia Ng had the privilege of dining with LegCo Member Dr. David Lam Tzit Yuen. The meeting was centered around addressing key challenges that the chiropractic profession faces in Hong Kong.

1. Sick Leave Certificates

A significant point of discussion was the advocacy for the official recognition of chiropractor-issued sick leave certificates. This recognition is crucial for validating the role of chiropractors in the healthcare system and ensuring that patients receive the necessary support during their recovery.

2. Mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

The conversation also touched on the rollout of mandatory Continuing Professional Development. This initiative aims to uphold the highest standards of care within the profession, ensuring that chiropractors remain informed about the latest practices and advancements in healthcare.

3. Cap. 633 Ordinance

Lastly, the impact of the Private Healthcare Facilities Ordinance (Cap. 633) on chiropractic clinics was thoroughly examined. Navigating this ordinance is essential for the future of chiropractic practices, and the HKCA is committed to working collaboratively to address any challenges that arise.

The HKCA extends its gratitude to Dr. Lam for his time and continued support as we strive to elevate chiropractic care in Hong Kong. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of our patients.
