The Primary Healthcare Commission (PHC Commission) has set up medical stations at the temporary shelters that were opened in response to the fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po to give immediate medical and pharmaceutical support to residents in need.

The medical stations provide medical assistance from 8am to 8pm daily, covering basic medical assessment and a referral service, treatment of mild injuries, prescribing drugs including necessary medication refills based on medical history, as well as psychological support to assist in non-emergency medical needs.

Residents with medical needs can seek assistance from healthcare personnel at the medical stations.

Meanwhile, the 24-hour "18111 - Mental Health Support Hotline" has stepped up its manpower to assist those who need emotional support due to the blaze.

The Department of Health and the Hospital Authority earlier deployed medical support teams to temporary shelters to offer preliminary medical assessment and support for residents.

To continuously provide medical care for the affected residents, the PHC Commission co-ordinated professionals from the public and private medical sectors, including over 250 doctors and 250 healthcare professionals, to participate in setting up the medical stations.
