Budget Speech

Healthcare Professionals

179. The Government attaches importance to training local healthcare professionals.  The Health Bureau will continue to enhance healthcare‑related teaching facilities, while increasing the number of local training places as appropriate.  Since last April, we have also started to subsidise the relevant institutions in respect of the clinical practicum training fees for their specified healthcare‑related programmes.  On another front, since the announcement of an additional injection of $500 million into the Chinese Medicine Development Fund in last year's Budget, a number of capacity building initiatives for the industry have been taken forward under the fund, such as the Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Talent Short‑term Training Programme co‑organised with the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in support of building an excellent pool of Chinese medicine (CM) talent.
