The Health Bureau has announced that from today citizens can open eHealth accounts for their children via the one-stop platform on the eHealth mobile application.

Citizens who are registered with eHealth can use the eHealth app to register their children, provided they are under 16, and verify their identities through the “My Family” function. Creating an account involves providing a photo of each child’s Hong Kong Birth Certificate, and filling in the required information.

Upon successful registration, children can start building a lifelong electronic health record and receive coherent healthcare services as they grow up. Through the “My Family” function, parents can also access and manage their children’s health records, including vaccination records, growth records, and details of allergies or adverse drug reactions.

From today until May 31, children will earn health coins on their eHealth App account, for gift redemption, following successful registration by their parents.

During this period, parents who register children under one year old will also receive a limited-edition Newborn Gift Box, which includes a multipurpose baby stroller bag, a mini soft tape measure, an eHealth picture book and other exquisite gifts.

For gift box redemptions, eligible parents simply need to use the “My Family” function on the app and select a delivery address in accordance with the instructions. Click here for details.

In September, the bureau launched its “e+ Life” health challenge platform on eHealth to encourage public participation in various health challenges, including  
“e+ Go to the Park” and the now-concluded “10 000 Steps a Day Walking Challenge 2024”.

From today until May 31, citizens can use health coins earned from “e+ Life” or registering their children on eHealth to redeem rewards. Visit the thematic website for more details, or call 3467 6300, from 9am to 9pm, from Mondays to Fridays.
