Introduction
The anxiety level of HK citizens has been pushed to a historical
high by the atypical (coronavirus) pneumonia. In order to provide
more education of the disease to the community, the Faculty
of Medicine, HKU and MTR Corporation have co-organized a health
educational campaign so that the HK citizens could have more
thorough knowledge in combating atypical (coronavirus) pneumonia.
Removing ignorance is the fastest way to restore calm and confidence.
This was a three-day educational campaign in 6 selected MTR
stations, including Hong Kong Station, Admiralty, Yau Ma Tei,
Wong Tai Sin, Po Lam and Tsuen Wan.
The Campaign has received very positive support from students.
Over 200 medical and nursing students from the Faculty of Medicine,
the University of Hong Kong have participated in the Campaign.
The Student ambassadors distributed health education leaflets
and answer public enquiries at the 6 selected MTR stations from
April 10-12, 2003 (Thursday - Saturday).
There was an Opening Ceremony on April 10, 2003 at Hong Kong
Station. Professor SK Lam, Dean of Faculty of Medicine and Mrs
Miranda Leung, Corporate Relations Manager, MTR Corporation
were the officiating guests.
