As the Two Sessions continue in Beijing, NPC Deputy Dr. Dennis Lam breaks down a key buzzword from the 2026 Government Work Report: Health First.
Dr. Lam, an eye doctor and lawmaker, outlines five clear actions behind the initiative: upgrading community healthcare so patients can see a good doctor in their neighborhood; making health the top priority in all policy decisions from city planning to education; building smarter cross-boundary medical policies for the Greater Bay Area; preventing diseases together through community action and protecting children from shortsightedness; and strengthening public health defenses through cross-border teamwork against future outbreaks.
For Hong Kong, Dr. Lam calls this a "golden opportunity" — combining Hong Kong's medical expertise with the Mainland's resources to bring world-class healthcare to everyone's doorstep.
