IMPORTANCE OF GOOD HEALTH STRESSED

****

MONG KOK RESIDENTS WERE TODAY (SUNDAY) REMINDED,`THROUGH A SERIES OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES, OF THE IMPORTANCE OF CARING FOR THEIR HEALTH AND OF PUBLIC HYGIENE.

FIRST-AID AND RESCUE OPERATION DEMONSTRATIONS, A SLIDE SHOW AND A TALK WERE STAGED IN A LOCAL SCHOOL TO AROUSE RESIDENTS' AWARENESS OF GOOD HEALTH AND TO WIDEN THEIR MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE,

THE ACTIVITIES ARE PART OF THE PROGRAMME OF THE HEALTH PROMOTION FORTNIGHT JOINTLY ORGANISED BY THE LOCAL DISTRICT BOARD, THE HONG KONG MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND ST JOHN'S AMBULANCE.

SPEAKING AT AN OPENING OF TODAY'S HEALTH EDUCATION DAY, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE FORTNIGHT'S WORKING GROUP, DR RONALD LEUNG, STRESSED THE NEED TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON LOOKING AFTER THEIR OWN HEALTH.

+THIS WOULD HELP MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS TO CARRY OUT THE IR JOBS MORE EFFECTIVELY AND, IN TURN, CUT DOWN EXPENDITURE ON MEDICAL SERVICES, HE SAID.

DR LEUNG SAID THAT APART FROM ORGANISING ACTIVITIES FOR RESIDENTS, SUCH AS THE HEALTH EDUCATION DAY, THE DISTRICT BOARD ALSO REFLECTED PUBLIC'S VIEWS ON DISTRICT MATTERS.

+TO SHOW THE IR SUPPORT TO THE WORK OF THE DISTRICT BOARD, RESIDENTS SHOULD TAKE PART IN NEXT YEAR'S ELECTIONS AND REGISTER THEMSELVES AS VOTERS,+ HE SAID.
