HEALTH EDUCATION EXHIBITION

Sailung Community Centre Show To Emphasise Hygiene

The Medical and Health Department's Health Education Unit will

put on a four-day exhibition in the Saikung Community Centre beginning

on Tuesday, November 20.

The emphasis will be on home care and personal and environmental

hygiene, and the message will be conveyed by means of drawings, graphs,

charts, photographs and cartoons.

Literature on how to avoid domestic accidents by remerbering

basic rules will be distributed during the show.

The aim of the Health Education Unit, which is attached to the

department's New Territories office, is to mount exhibitions for the

benefit of rural folk, especially country children. Items making up the

shows are conceived and arranged for easy comprehension.

The Sailung show will provide useful suggestions on how attention

to personal and environmental hygiene contributes not only to a cleaner

neighbourhood, but also a healthier and happier life for all.

It is the first of two exhibitions being organised by the Unit

this month. The second, based on the same theme, will be in the Yuen

Long Town Hall beginning on November 27.

Note to Editors:

You are invited to have the exhibition covered.
