HONG KONG HEALTH EXHIBITION IMPRESSES MACAU VISITOR
Senora Eunice Freire, Social Assistant of the Health Department
of the Government of Macau, joined hundreds of school children in the
Yuen Long Town Hall yesterday at the end of the Medical and Health Department's
lastest health education exhibition.
She made the trip especially to see how a show of this sort could
be duplicated in the Portuguese province, and to collect information on
health education so as to improve training facilities among hygiene staff
in Macau.
She spent several hours touring the exhibition, making notes of
the various items on display, taking photographs of some of them, and
carrying back with her to Macau a handful of the government's latest leaflet
on how to avoid accidents in the home.
"I am very impressed," she said.
The exhibition centred on the theme of "home safety," and the
message was put across with models, graphs, drawings, all designed in
Chinese for easy comprehension by an audience of rural folk. Sections
were devoted to food hygiene, nutrition, protection of the eyesight, and
the prevention of intestinal diseases.
The department's Health Education Unit, New Territories, was responsible
for organising the exhibition. It will be repeated soon in Tsuen Wan.
