He noted that in addition to primary health care services, the Department of Health had initiated a number of new programmes including to establish health centres for women aged 45 and above and old people aged 65 and above, and to introduce a new Student Health Service later this year.
Dr Leong stressed that primary health care service needed participation of everyone. The Department of Health had successfully taken its first step as the District Health System and the patient's liaison group piloted in Kwun Tong had achieved fairly good results.
Also speaking at the ceremony, the acting Director of Health, Dr Paul Saw said the Department of Health had pledged to provide better service since 1992.
He said: "Tuen Mun Wu Hong Clinic is in the Performance Pledge scheme."
He pointed out that the design of the clinic was very client-centred. With the assistance of the Architectural Services Department, a footbridge connecting the clinic to the nearby Light Rail Transit station and public estates had been built to facilitate patients' access.
Dr Saw believed the department would be able to further improve its primary health services with the community's participation and support.
Tuen Mun Wu Hong Clinic is the third government clinic in Tuen Mun District. The clinic has a total gross floor area of about 3,000 square-meters and provides general out-patient and maternal and child health services to local residents.
