ORPHF guides

Each guide answers one question a provider in Hong Kong asks about ORPHF, from the official sources it cites. There are 8 guides across 7 topics, last checked on 15 October 2026.

The depth of a licensing review, written from ORPHF's own Code and guidance notes. Every private clinic in Hong Kong now needs a licence or an exemption. These are the answers that secure yours. Each guide ends with how wai does the work.

How the guides map to the ORPHF framework

The hub sets out the 5 headings ORPHF works to, and the guides take them one task at a time.

The 5 headings on the ORPHF hub

  1. Licence or exemption, 3 routes on the hub. Since 13 October 2025 every clinic needs a clinic licence, unless it qualifies as a small practice clinic and holds a letter of exemption.
  2. The Chief Medical Executive, 4 duties on the hub. A licensed clinic appoints a Chief Medical Executive, a doctor or dentist registered for at least 4 years, accountable for its clinical management.
  3. The Code of Practice for Clinics, 5 chapters on the hub. The standards a licensed clinic meets, in the 2026 edition of the Code, in five chapters.
  4. Complaints and patients' rights, 4 duties on the hub. A two-tier complaints system. The clinic answers first, and the independent Committee on Complaints against Private Healthcare Facilities second.
  5. Records, incidents and data, 4 duties on the hub. Medical records to the Code's list, sentinel and serious untoward events reported within 24 hours, and personal data handled under the PDPO.

Questions about the ORPHF guides

Which ORPHF guide should I read first?

Start with The Cap. 633 clinic licence, the first guide on this page, about 8 minutes of reading, filed under Licence. The other 7 each stand on their own, so take them in the order your own preparation needs.

How do these guides relate to the ORPHF hub?

The ORPHF hub sets out the 5 headings ORPHF works to and how wai evidences each one. Each guide goes one level down, to a single task, with steps to follow, a template to copy, answers to common questions and the sources behind it.

How current are the ORPHF guides?

Every guide shows the date its facts were checked against the official sources it cites. All 8 were checked on 15 October 2026, the same date the hub shows beside its Updated line.

Are the ORPHF guides legal advice?

They are guidance, not legal advice, written from what ORPHF publishes, with a link to the source for each fact. ORPHF does not endorse wai or any software, and the licence for your organisation is decided by ORPHF.

How do I request a demo for ORPHF?

Request a demo from this page and it reaches the wai team with ORPHF already named, so the call starts from ORPHF rather than a general tour. You can also write to team@wellnessa-i.com.
