The AMS First Aid Bicycle Team provides first aid coverage along the cycling tracks between Sha Tin and Tai Po and mans the first aid posts on the tracks in Ma On Shan, Sha Tin and Tai Po during weekends and public holidays. In 2013, the team deployed about 6,379 man-hours of services. The AMS also runs programmes on first aid at schools and gives talks to the public on heart disease, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, drug abuse and other health related subjects.
In April, in response to the emergence of avian influenza A (H7N9) cases, the AMS assisted the DH in screening the temperature of all inbound visitors at various boundary control points.
