AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoFamily Medicine privacy upgrade: Starting Aug 15, Macau’s Hospital Authority will only accept appointment-booking calls from phones with caller ID for Family Medicine Clinics, aiming to better protect personal data and reduce impersonation risks. Emergency care improvement: SSM says average public hospital emergency department waiting times in the first half of 2026 fell 10% year-on-year to 54 minutes, with Category 2 down to 16 minutes and Category 3 to 45 minutes, as staffing and capacity (including the Macau Medical Centre’s ICU) are refined. Infant formula lead scare response: Health, food and municipal authorities moved quickly after a Dutch Frisolac Prestige Stage 1 sample exceeded Macau’s lead limit, removing and recalling the product, expanding testing, and setting up paediatric emergency “green channels” and fast-track support; follow-up checks found no lead-poisoning emergencies among those who sought care. Breastfeeding support: The Health Bureau reports Macau now has 370 breastfeeding rooms and a breastfeeding initiation rate above 90%, highlighting workplace, campus and family support efforts. Health self-check push: SSM plans more self-service kiosks for physical and mental health checks, building on community screening and the “My Health” platform. Access for patients: A temporary shuttle bus links Conde de São Januário General Hospital and Macao Union Medical Center with expanded hours, including weekends and public holidays.
