How it's used
This term refers specifically to the government-run clinics in Hong Kong that provide postnatal care and childhood immunizations. Locals often shorten the name to just 健康院 when the context of childcare is already clear. It is a vital institution for parents, as it is the primary place for infants to receive their scheduled vaccinations.
