The event, which took place at CCC Ming Yin College in Shek Kip Mei, aimed to provide free healthcare checks and medical services to underprivileged elderly citizens. More than 50 students from the Faculty volunteered to help the elderly attendees, and the event was a great success. The Elderly HealthCare Foundation is grateful for the support of Dean Leung, who is the organisation’s honorary patron. The foundation is fortunate to have over 31 medical doctors of various specialties that donate their time and services. They hope to continue to serve the underprivileged elderly community and look for cooperation with other NGO partners that share their vision.
