For the 4 days Holidays, a total of 125 private medical practitioners, 13 private hospital outpatient departments and 11 public clinics registered with the MediLink, offering medical consultation services.

The MediLink telephone hotline was first launched in December 1995 with the sponsorship of Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited.
