【聖誕節假期開診醫生 2019】公立診所開診及查詢電話資料 (普通科門診/General out-patient clinic service during Christmas holidays) ......!

醫院管理局（醫管局）今日（十二月二十三日）公布，因應公立醫院正處於冬季服務高峰期，將加強普通科門診在聖誕期間的服務，包括在假期期間增加超過1 800個額外診症名額；另外更有三間普通科門診診所於假期期間額外增設服務，即合共有16間普通科門診診所（詳見下表）提供服務，以應對市民的求診需要，減輕急症室的服務壓力。另外，醫管局急症科統籌委員會主席徐錫漢醫生呼籲市民，在慶祝節日期間切記節制飲酒。
 
發言人表示，市民可瀏覽食物及衞生局基層醫療指南www.pcdirectory.gov.hk，選擇適合自己的家庭醫生及查閱其應診資料。
 
聖誕佳節臨近，徐醫生提醒市民，飲酒慶祝應有節制，淺嚐即止。「過量攝取酒精會抑壓大腦功能，引致頭痛、嘔吐、呼吸困難、失去知覺、昏迷等反應甚至急性酒精中毒，足以致命，未成年人士飲酒更可能影響腦部發展。」徐醫生又提醒市民，酒精會令血管擴張，不能保暖反令身體熱量流失；而市民酒後或宿醉時切忌駕駛，以免發生交通意外。
 
因應本港即將進入冬季流感高峰期，徐醫生呼籲市民應盡早接種季節性流感疫苗，保障自己及他人。他又特別提醒外遊人士，如返港後出現發燒或呼吸道病徵應立即佩戴口罩及求醫，並向醫護人員報告外遊紀錄。

​The Hospital Authority (HA) today (December 23) announces that in view of the increased demand during the winter surge in public hospitals, the general out-patient clinic (GOPC) service will be enhanced during the Christmas holidays. An addition of over 1 800 consultation quotas will be provided during the Christmas holidays. Furthermore, three additional GOPCs will provide service during the long holidays, i.e. 16 clinics in total (see table below) will remain open to meet the service needs of the public and alleviate the service pressure of Accident and Emergency (A&E) Departments. Meanwhile, the Chairman of the HA Central Coordinating Committee (A&E), Dr Tsui Sik-hon, reminded the public to refrain from excessive alcohol consumption during the festive celebrations.  
 
An HA spokesperson said the public could browse the website of Primary Care Directory of the Food and Health Bureau at www.pcdirectory.gov.hk to find an appropriate family doctor and the related clinic service.
 
As Christmas is approaching, Dr Tsui reminded the public to avoid excessive drinking. "Excessive alcohol will impair one's brain function. It may result in a headache, vomiting, breathing difficulties, unconsciousness, coma or even alcohol intoxication which could be life-threatening. Underage drinking is particularly harmful to brain development." He added that drinking cannot generate warmth as alcohol would dilate blood vessels and lower body temperature.
 
Dr Tsui also appealed to the public to avoid driving after drinking or during an alcohol hangover to help prevent the occurrence of traffic accidents.
 
With the approach of the influenza season, he also reminded the general public to receive a seasonal influenza vaccination as early as possible to protect themselves and others. Travellers returning to Hong Kong with respiratory symptoms are advised to wear face masks, seek medical attention and disclose their travel history to healthcare staff when seeking medical consultation.
