More than 140 private doctors will provide free basic healthcare to survivors of last week's deadly fire in Tai Po. The blaze severely damaged seven out of eight blocks in a residential complex.
The government announced the scheme on Thursday. It includes doctors at 170 locations and four private hospitals. Victims can receive three free consultations and medication through February 28 of next year.
Project managers will coordinate the program. It aims to give immediate medical support to those affected by the disaster.
