Health

The AMS provides first aid during natural disasters, large-scale incidents, public activities and festivals. During weekends and public holidays, its members man first aid stations in country parks, with First Aid Bicycle Teams covering cycling tracks in the New Territories. The AMS also runs first aid programmes at schools and gives public talks on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other health topics.

In 2020, the AMS provided important support to the Department of Health and the Hospital Authority in the fight against COVID-19, with members assisting at quarantine, treatment and testing facilities. Members also escorted persons to quarantine centres, and assisted in the enforcement of compulsory testing orders. They also trained staff of designated quarantine hotels and monitored their performance.
