A serious fire recently broke out at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, affecting seven residential blocks. The Government has stated it will initially provide close to 1,800 units to meet affected residents’ temporary accommodation needs. Given that temporary housing is dispersed across different districts, and many affected households include the elderly and individuals with medical needs, the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation (HKSR) announced the launch of free “Accessible Rides” medical transport to assist affected residents travelling to and from hospitals and clinics.

Target Beneficiaries
Targets: The elderly, people with mobility limitations, persons with disabilities, and those requiring medical follow-up/medication collection among residents affected by the Wang Fuk Court fire.
Scope: Journeys to and from public and private hospitals, specialist outpatient clinics, general outpatient clinics, listed Chinese medicine clinics, and related healthcare facilities (follow-up consultations, appointments, treatments, medication collection).
Fees: Free of charge (funded by public donations and HKSR resources).
Coverage: Routes across multiple districts territory-wide (aligned with the distribution of government-arranged temporary accommodation).
Reservation: Booking on the same day or in advance via hotline is required (please refer to details below)

Hotline: 8106 6616 (Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:30. Closed on Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays)

Information required: Resident’s name, Contact number, Temporary residence, Medical appointment location and time, Whether assistance is needed for wheelchair boarding/alighting or physical support, Number of accompanying family members

  • Vehicles are equipped with boarding ramps/lifts, wheelchair securing devices, and basic accessible safety belts.
  • Drivers have received training in rehabilitation transport and elderly care safety.
  • Simple boarding and alighting assistance will be provided during the journey when needed.

Rehabilitation services
HKSR is also coordinating community rehabilitation support services, aiming to provide appropriate support for affected residents who require various rehabilitation and psychosocial support within the community. Further details will be announced later.

Appeal for donations to support services
To ensure the continued provision of free medical transportation and subsequent rehabilitation support, as well as expanding service frequency and coverage, HKSR calls for donation from the public. All contributions will be directly used to support these services, including vehicle operations and increasing the number.

Collaborations with the government and the community
Knowing that the fire at Wang Fuk Court has posed heavy impact on residents’ physical and mental well-being as well as their daily lives, HKSR explores to ease the medical and rehabilitation burdens of affected households through free medical transportation and comprehensive rehabilitation support. HKSR also expressed gratitude to all sectors of society for their generosity and solidarity during this difficult time. HKSR will continue to communicate with government departments and medical institutions to provide appropriate services for affected residents.
