Participating in Bone Health Programme of Yau Tsim Mong
District Office
The incidence of Osteoporosis is increasing in Hong Kong. There are no symptoms
at the early stage of osteoporosis until bone fracture occurs. To promote bone
health, TWGHs Integrated Diagnostic and Medical Centre (IDMC) continued to
participate in the bone health programme organised by Yau Tsim Mong District
Office (YTMDO) this year. Subsidised by YTMDO, IDMC offered free X-ray bone
densitometry service to 200 women aged between 40 and 65 with the aim to
facilitate prevention and early detection of osteoporosis.
“Pilot On-site Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Programme” at
TWGHs Lo Yu Chik Primary School
The seasonal influenza activity has continued to increase in Hong Kong in recent
years. Influenza can cause serious illness to people with possible complications.
As seasonal influenza vaccination is safe and effective in preventing seasonal
influenza, the Department of Health of the HKSAR recommended primary school
students to get vaccinated, and provided subsidy to eligible students. Since schools
are collective assembly places, influenza can be easily spread among people through
contact. In order to protect students’ health and in support of the Government’s
policy, the Group’s Medical Division and Integrated Diagnostic and Medical Centre
organised the “Pilot On-site Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Programme” at TWGHs
Lo Yu Chik Primary School. A medical and nursing team was arranged to provide
on-site seasonal influenza vaccination to around 450 students at TWGHs Lo Yu Chik
Primary School on 24 January 2018 and 28 February 2018. The Programme aimed
at preventing seasonal influenza and its complications in vaccinated students, and
reducing the risk of influenza outbreaks in schools and the community.
ProvidingMedical Assessments to Sportsmen at TWGHs Integrated
Diagnostic and Medical Centre
TWGHs Integrated Diagnostic and Medical Centre continued to collaborate with the
Hong Kong Football Association Limited this year to provide medical examinations for
over 168 football players of Hong Kong Premier League. The services were extended to
professional basketball players this year by providing medical examinations to basketball
players of Eastern Long Lions Basketball Team. The programme aims at arousing the
health consciousness of professional sportsmen.
Health Education Programmes of Screening and Diagnostic Centres
To promote public health and to foster the concept of “prevention is better than
cure”, TWGHs Integrated Diagnostic and Medical Centre and TWGHs Endoscopy
Centre jointly organised a series of health education programmes, including health
talks and free health checks. The topics covered common health problems such as
gout, osteoporosis and fatty liver.
參與油尖旺區議會舉辦的骨質健康計劃
香港骨質疏鬆症患者的數目持續上升，由於早
期的骨質疏鬆症並無任何徵狀，患者可能在骨
折後方發現骨質已下降至嚴重水平。為了推廣
骨質健康，東華三院綜合診斷及醫療中心於本
年度繼續參與由油尖旺區議會舉辦的骨質健康
計劃，在油尖旺區議會的資助下，為200名年
齡介乎40至65歲的婦女提供免費X光骨質密度
檢測服務，藉此呼籲市民預防和及早關注骨質
疏鬆問題。
於東華三院羅裕積小學推行「季節性流
感疫苗接種先導計劃」
近年，季節性流行性感冒在香港的活躍程度持
續上升。染上流行性感冒可以是嚴重疾病，
並可能出現併發症。由於季節性流感疫苗能安
全和有效地預防季節性流感，香港衞生署建議
小學生接種流感疫苗，並為合資格的學童提供
資助。由於學校是群體聚集的地方，因此流感
很容易透過人與人之間的接觸傳播。為保障學
生的健康及配合政府的政策，本院醫務科和屬
下的綜合診斷及醫療中心推行「季節性流感
疫苗接種先導計劃」，安排醫護團隊於2018年
1月24日及2月28日到東華三院羅裕積小學為
約450名學生接種季節性流感疫苗，以預防流
感及其併發症，並減低流行性感冒在學校及社
區爆發的風險。
