How accurate are the waiting times?

The data comes from the Hospital Authority and shows reference waiting times for semi-urgent and non-urgent patients. Actual times vary with triage category and conditions on site. In an emergency, call 999 or go to the nearest A&E immediately.

How often is the data updated?

The Hospital Authority publishes updates roughly every 15 minutes. This page refreshes automatically, and you can tap Refresh for the latest numbers.

How much does A&E cost?

The A&E fee for eligible persons (Hong Kong ID holders) at public hospitals is HK$180. Non-eligible persons pay a higher rate — see the Hospital Authority website for details.

Which A&E has the shortest wait?

Waiting times change constantly. Check this page before you set off and weigh up travel time too — the fastest overall option may not be the hospital with the shortest queue.
