Health In Action conducted “Hong Kong Working Poor Health Care Access Study Report” in 2017. The results found that 30% of the respondents, when seeking medical assistance for non-emergency conditions, chose “self-medication” as their most common approach, while fewer than half of that number consulted pharmacists. This indicates a lack of awareness about accessing professional pharmaceutical advice.
In response, Health In Action established a community pharmacy to comprehensively serve the public, aiming to enhance the availability, accessibility, and affordability of community pharmacy services. Through providing medication management and consultation services, we strive to improve users’ health knowledge and empower them with better self-management capabilities of tackling both minor ailments and chronic conditions.
