In order to celebrate the World Family Doctor Day 2021 and recognise the great contributions of Family Doctors in Hong Kong in the combat of the COVID-19 pandemic, our College has prepared a short video to share with you all.
The Colorectal Cancer Screening Programme (CRCSP) is being implemented by the Department of Health to subsidise asymptomatic Hong Kong residents aged between 50 and 75 to undergo screening tests in private sector for prevention of colorectal cancer. Patients go through the Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) screening test first, and if it is found positive, colonoscopy will be arranged with government subsidy. As Family Doctors are the initial contact points of patients for health related issues, your advice is very important and indeed instrumental in moderating patient's perception and practice towards Colorectal Rectal Cancer (CRC) screening.
