HK co-care scheme projected to prevent 9% of stroke, heart failure cases by 2036

A university projection estimates Hong Kong's Chronic Disease Co-care Scheme, launched in 2023 and regularized in March, could prevent about 9% of stroke and heart failure cases over the next decade. Over 200,000 residents have enrolled, with roughly 40% of screened individuals diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension, or pre-diabetes. The finding underscores the scheme's potential public-health impact, though the projection's methodology and assumptions remain unspecified.
