World Family Doctor Day – May 19
The first World Family Doctor Day was declared and celebrated on 19 May 2010. It has been taken up with enthusiasm around the world, offering us an opportunity to celebrate what we do. This initiative provides recognition to family doctors, as well as highlights important issues and the work we perform in supporting health care for all people in our local communities, our nations and around the world.
On 16 May 2014 (Friday) afternoon at the Event Hall of Citywalk 2, Tsuen Wan, our College co-organized the event「我的家庭醫生」啟播禮with the Primary Care Office (PCO) of the Department of Health and the Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK). The 5-episode TV Drama series aim to promote family medicine with broadcasting on TV from 24 May 2014 onwards for five consecutive Saturdays at 7:30-8:00pm. The Public Education Committee also participated in the event with a patient on stage together to illustrate the importance and value of the continuous and person-centred care by a family doctor. I am deeply grateful to the Food & Health Bureau, PCO, RTHK and our Public Education Committee team including Dr. Allan Ngan, Dr. Mark Chan, Dr. Amy Chan, Dr. Loretta Chan, Dr. Lambert Chan, Dr. Cheung Kwok Leung, Dr. Zabo Chung, Dr. Ken Ho, Dr. Timothy Hong, Dr. Lam Wing Wo, and Dr. Dana Lo for making this possible.
