Holders of Hong Kong identity cards or certificates of exemption aged 70 or above are eligible to join the health care voucher scheme.
Five vouchers worth HK$50 each will be provided each year from 2009 to 2011. The vouchers can be used at participating clinics.
More than one voucher can be used per visit and unused vouchers can be accumulated, but patients cannot use unissued vouchers in advance.
Vouchers cannot be used to buy medicine, nor can they be used in public hospitals and clinics.
The account balance can be checked online at www.hcv.gov.hk or by calling 2838 0511.
Participating clinics will display the scheme's green logo.
