CHAIRLADY'S MESSAGE

Time flies and it is once again our great pleasure to announce that the Hong Kong Primary Care Conference (HKPCC) 2026, will be held from 26th to 28th June 2026 at the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine Jockey Club Building in Aberdeen, Hong Kong.

This year’s theme, “Overcoming Challenges for Sustainable Primary Care: Innovation, Collaboration, and Leadership” could not be more timely. Hong Kong’ s healthcare system continues to face mounting pressures - an aging population, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, workforce shortages among doctors and nurses, and an overstretched public sector. These challenges underscore the urgent need for systemic reform, optimal resource allocation and a more holistic approach to healthcare. In response, the Government has demonstrated a strong commitment to healthcare transformation by shifting the focus from a hospital-based, curative model to a community-oriented, preventive care framework as outlined in the Primary Care Blueprint.  A key reform initiative is the promotion of the “Family Doctor for All” concept, supported by the Chronic Disease Co-Care (CDCC) Pilot Scheme launched in 2023. This initiative aims to establish a family doctor system, with District Health Centers (DHCs) serving as community hubs to reinforce the primary healthcare network. Family doctors are the cornerstone of primary healthcare, providing community-based, continuous care that adapts to our patients’ changing needs.  Through innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and effective leadership, they are leading the charge towards sustainable, high quality primary care capable of meeting rising demands and complex challenges.

The HKPCC has long been a hallmark event for academic exchange, professional networking, and innovation in primary care. Join us again to get the latest insights in family medicine and primary healthcare through a rich and well-curated scientific program featuring inspiring plenary lectures, interactive forums, hands-on workshops, and engaging seminars. We warmly invite you to submit abstracts for our upcoming full research paper, free paper, and clinical case competitions. Additional details, including submission guidelines and key dates will be shared soon. Stay tuned for more updates and exciting surprises to come!

We look forward to welcoming you all for another insightful and inspiring experience.
