The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) announced today (March 27) the official implementation of the two-way transfer arrangement of the Pilot Scheme for Direct Cross-boundary Ambulance Transfer in the Greater Bay Area with Shenzhen, Zhuhai, and Macao starting today, marking a new phase of the Pilot Scheme.
In his 2025 Policy Address, the Chief Executive announced that the HKSAR Government will, in collaboration with the governments of Guangdong and Macao, extend the cross-boundary ambulance transfer arrangements in an orderly manner, including two-way ambulance transfers. To ensure the smooth implementation of relevant arrangements, subsequent to the first northbound transfer drill with the Guangdong Provincial Government and the Shenzhen Municipal Government on February 10, the HKSAR Government conducted a two-way transfer drill with the governments of Zhuhai and Macao Special Administrative Region (Macao SAR) on March 20 to assess the simulated transfer of patients under the cross-boundary ambulance transfer arrangements.
