MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS FOR 250 AGED
Three Organisations Sponsor Wong Tai Sin Project
Two hundred and fifty elderly folk, all over 60 and one 98,
will take part in a health competition in Our Lady of Maryknoll Hospital
on June 17 and 24, between 1.30 and 5 p.m.
The competition is in the form of medical examinations of the
contestants to test their blood pressure, heart, lungs, teeth, ears,
eyes, nose, and general physical strength.
Health certificates will be issued after the examinations for
those who "qualify," supplemented with follow-up check-ups.
The competition is being sponsored by the Social Welfare
Department's Wong Tai Sin Community Centre, with the support and co-operation
of the Tsz Wan Shan Kaifong Association and Our Lady of Maryknoll Hospital.
It forms part of the Wong Tai Sin District Committee on Welfare
Services' programme for the aged. Volunteers attending the examinations
to help out will come from the Wong Tai Sin Community Centre's Old
People Service Team.
Mr. Choi Jun, President of the Committee on Welfare Services
for the Aged, has donated $1,500 towards expenses.
