Charities

As medical professionals, we are in the unique position of being able to help our communities and identify where additional support may be needed. The primary need of some charities is not financial, and we volunteer our time and expertise.

Here is an update of some of our activities:

• As part of our ongoing commitment to New Hope Foundation China, Dr Fuong provides medical assistance for children who are sent down from Beijing to HK for surgery. For more details, please go to: www.hopefosterhome.com
