Abstract

The Joint Committee on Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (UNHS) was formed to ensure the effective implementation of UNHS in Hong Kong and to achieve effective communication among various services in Hospital Authority and Department of Health. Meetings with multidisciplinary professionals had been conducted during the years of 2013 and 2017. A consensus on a common care path for infants identified to have hearing impairment had been reached.
