Hong Kong’s eHealth record system has recorded more than 6.5 million registrations, Secretary for Health Lo Chung-mau said at an event marking its 10th anniversary on 22 August 2026. The system was launched in 2016 and now has a registration rate of about 85 to 87 per cent of the population, according to the two reports, which gave different figures without explaining the discrepancy.
Monthly use has exceeded 1.3 million, according to i-CABLE News, which reported that Lo said the figure showed residents were using eHealth in practice. Ming Pao described the figure as an average of more than 1.3 million log-ins a month over the past three months, so the reports do not establish whether they used the same measurement.
Ming Pao reported that eHealth is linked to more than 4,700 public and private healthcare institutions, with over 63,000 registered healthcare professionals. The mobile application had been downloaded more than 4.3 million times, the report said.
The anniversary event included an exhibition, performances, interactive booths and registration counters to help residents sign up for eHealth and download the application. More than 800 students, older people and other residents attended, according to Ming Pao.
The event also highlighted the eHealth Plus intergenerational inclusion pilot scheme. About 100 students were recruited and trained to teach older people at elderly centres how to use the mobile application to manage their health independently.
The Health Bureau said it would proceed with a second phase of the scheme and extend it to more schools and organisations. Officials also outlined launched or planned measures including support for private healthcare providers to store medical records, personal electronic health records, cross-border health records, personal folders, e-certificates and electronic consent forms. The supplied reports did not specify which of these measures are already operating and which remain planned.
