About Us
The Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council (NAAC) was established in 1968 as a non-profit charitable organization in Hong Kong. It is based on the spirit of “Any Place In Need Of Our Service Is Our Neighbourhood”. We uphold a collective responsibility to stimulate the exertion of self-help, mutual support, promote equity and justice and share for excellence in professional service delivery for the development of caring, respect and sharing society.
The Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council (NAAC) strive to serve the underprivileged groups in the society, offering them the most appropriate services enhancing sense of competence for individual or family; bridging social resources to promote a caring community. Our targets include infant & child, adolescent & youth, elderly, disabled and low-income family. We also provide education, health care, social enterprise and mainland services.

Since October 18,2021, the Health Bureau has awarded a service contract to the Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council (NAAC) to operate the Islands DHC Express (ID DHCE), proving community-based primary Healthcare services to residents. To raise awareness of Disease prevention and enhance citizen’s ability to manage their health, ID DHCE promotes Healthy lifestyles to prevent Chronic Diseases. It offers Disease prevention services, including Health promotion and education, Disease prevention, Health assessments, and consultations, aiming to reduce or prevent the occurrence of Chronic Diseases. Through Health Risk Factor assessment or screening services, ID DHCE assists individuals at Health risk in managing Chronic Diseases early to prevent deterioration. It also supports Chronic Disease patients in controlling their conditions (such as Hypertension, Diabetes, Low Back Pain and OA Knee etc) through Patient Empowerment Program.
ID DHCE also serves as a Community Resource Hub, networking of primary Healthcare service providers in the community to establish a community-based Healthcare Network. This network facilitates citizens in addressing their Health needs within the Community and preventing Chronic Diseases.
