Hong Kong - Health Risks
Hong Kong is one of the healthiest places in the world. Because of its early health education, professional health services, and well-developed health care and medication system, Hongkongers enjoy a life expectancy of 84 for females and 78 for men, which are the second highest in the world, and 2.94 infant mortality rate, the fourth lowest in the world.
Main health risks for Hong Kong:
Every year several cases of dengue fever are reported in Hong Kong. Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne disease. Symptoms are fever, headache, rash, muscle and joint pain, nausea and, in severe cases, hemorrhagic manifestations.
Hong Kong is highly polluted, which may prove problematic for travellers with respiratory problems; consult your physician before leaving.
You should exercise normal precautions to avoid exposure to HIV/AIDS.
You should seek medical advice before travelling to Hong Kong and ensure that all appropriate vaccinations are up to date.
