Pharmacies open now near you — and clinics and AEDs

Feeling unwell and looking for the nearest clinic, or need a pharmacy after hours? "HK Utility Map" shows nearby Hospital Authority general outpatient clinics, Department of Health clinics, Health Care Voucher doctors, registered pharmacies, drugstores, and the closest public AED.

General Outpatient & Department of Health Clinics

The map covers Hospital Authority family medicine and general outpatient clinics, plus Department of Health facilities such as maternal and child health centres, elderly health centres, student health service centres, dental, chest, and dermatology clinics — each with address, phone, and district.

Health Care Voucher Private Doctors

Private doctors participating in the Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme are included as well. Vouchers can cover part of the consultation fee at these practices; confirm actual charges and available services with the clinic directly.

Registered Pharmacies: Look for the Rx Sign

Only shops registered with the Department of Health as Authorized Sellers of Poisons may call themselves a pharmacy and display the red-and-white "Rx" sign, and a registered pharmacist must be present to dispense prescription medicine. The 💊 layer is that official register — 643 pharmacies. Many also declare the pharmacist's duty hours, which are usually shorter than the shop's (open until 9 pm, pharmacist gone at 5:30): a prescription can only be filled inside that window, so the pharmacy card shows it and whether the pharmacist is in right now.

Drugstores: 1,161 Listed Sellers of Poisons

Chain personal-care and beauty stores, Chinese medicine shops and the neighbourhood Chinese-and-Western medicine shops are mostly "Listed Sellers of Poisons": licensed by the Department of Health to sell non-prescription medicines such as paracetamol, cold remedies and antacids, but with no registered pharmacist on the premises and no prescription dispensing. The map marks these 1,161 shops with 🧴, separately from the 💊 registered pharmacies. The same register also holds two thousand-odd convenience stores and supermarkets, which have layers of their own.

AEDs and the First Four Minutes

Survival from cardiac arrest falls sharply with every minute of delay. The map plots public defibrillators from the Fire Services Department registry — in malls, sports centres, MTR stations, and public estates. After calling 999, send someone to the nearest AED while CPR continues.

Browse facilities

Every facility has its own page with address, hours, the nearest MTR station and what is within 500 m. A selection, one per district; the map above lists everything near you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I find the nearest general outpatient clinic?
Tap "use my location" and switch on the Clinic layer to list nearby Hospital Authority and Department of Health clinics by distance. General outpatient clinics allocate quotas by telephone or online booking, so call the clinic or check the Hospital Authority booking system before setting out.
What is the difference between a pharmacy and a drugstore?
A pharmacy is registered with the Department of Health as an Authorized Seller of Poisons, must have a registered pharmacist on duty, displays the red-and-white "Rx" sign, and can dispense prescription medicine. A drugstore is a Listed Seller of Poisons and may only sell non-prescription products. The map shows registered pharmacies as 💊 and drugstores as 🧴 — both from the Department of Health's official registers.
Is the pharmacist in right now?
The pharmacy card shows the pharmacist duty hours from the Department of Health register and marks "Pharmacist in" or "Pharmacist out" against the current time. Hours are self-declared by each pharmacy and are missing for those that declared none, so call ahead before setting out with a prescription.
Can anyone use an AED?
Yes. Public-access AEDs are designed for untrained bystanders: the unit gives spoken step-by-step instructions, analyses the heart rhythm automatically, and only advises a shock when it detects a shockable rhythm. Call 999 first and follow the dispatcher while performing CPR.
Are the opening hours accurate?
Hours come straight from government open data, and some clinics and pharmacies publish none. Arrangements also change on public holidays and during typhoon or rainstorm warnings, so call ahead when it matters.
