About Us

Welcome to the homepage of the Medical Council of Hong Kong.

The Medical Council was founded to assure and promote quality in the medical profession in order to protect patients, foster ethical conduct, and develop and maintain high professional standards. Empowered by the Medical Registration Ordinance, Cap. 161, Laws of Hong Kong, the Medical Council handles registration of eligible medical practitioners, administers the Licensing Examination, issues Code of Professional Conduct and guidelines, as well as maps out a disciplinary mechanism to handle complaints lodged by members of the public and to exercise disciplinary actions to the medical practitioners.

I am honoured to be the Chairman of the Medical Council. Premised on the principle of professional autonomy and self-regulation, I, together with the other Members of the Medical Council, shall do our utmost to uphold our mission of ensuring justice, maintaining professionalism and protecting the public.

This homepage provides information and reference materials on how the Medical Council regulates the professional practice and conduct of the medical practitioners through a system of registration and disciplinary actions. I hope you will find our homepage useful and informative. Your suggestions and comments are most welcome.

Enjoy your surfing!

Prof. Grace TANG, SBS, JP
