She said, 'Apart from serving as a district health resource hub that links different service providers of various aspects of primary healthcare services in the community, DHC Express will also leverage on a private healthcare network in the community to enable members of the public to receive the necessary care and services when needed.

Among other things, the Government aims to introduce the interim DHC Express for 11 districts during the term of the current Government, in advance of the operation of full-fledged DHCs, with a view to building up a critical mass of district-based primary healthcare services throughout the territory as early as practicable.' Professor Chan said, 'In a bid to shift the emphasis of the present healthcare system and mindset from treatment-oriented to prevention-focused, the Government is enhancing district-based primary healthcare services in all 18 districts gradually.
