What is the healthcare system like in Hong Kong?香港医疗服务系统知多少? • 5% GDP on health sector • 医疗服务开支占本地生产总值的百分之五 • Public hospitals account for over 40% of total expenditure • 公立医院占医疗服务总开支的百分之四十以上 • 70% primary care is private vs 6% of hospital care • 百分之七十的基层医疗服务属私营 VS百分之六是医院服务

What is the healthcare system like in Hong Kong?香港医疗服务系统知多少? • 185 specialist psychiatrists (end of 2006) i.e. 2.6 psychiatrists/100,000 people • 185位精神科专科医生（截至2006年底），即：每十万人只有2.6位精神科医生 • Long tradition of General Practice • 存在已久的全科医疗传统

Background 背景 • Patients presenting with psychological problems are frequently seen by primary care doctors • 基层医生经常遇到心理疾病患者来向他们求诊 • It is estimated that up to 20% of primary care patients have one or more psychological problems • 据统计，在使用基层医疗服务的病人中，有近两成的病人患有一种或一种以上的心理疾病。 • Most of these patients’ psychological problems are not serious in nature and will respond well to treatments by their primary care doctors if these are recognised and treated early • 这些病人的心理疾病大都并不严重，只要接受基层医生的及早诊断与治疗，一般都可获得不错的成效

Background 背景 • It is anticipated that the number of patients with psychological problems will continue to increase and comprise an even greater proportion of those seeking health services • 预计，香港的心理疾病患者人数将持续增加，那么他们使用医疗服务的比例也会上升 • However, most of the primary care doctors practising today have little or no formal undergraduate training in the health care issues that are relevant to patients with psychological problems • 然而,目前的大部分基层医生在有关心理疾病医务方面普遍缺乏正式的专业培训。

Background 背景 We therefore aim to improve health care for these patients in Hong Kong by improving primary care doctors’ knowledge and skills in the care of the patients with psychological problems. 因此，我们希望通过丰富基层医生对心理疾病的认识和改善他们的治疗技巧，来提高对该类患者的治疗水平。
