Poon Hok-chi also participated in the program. He expressed his hope that after receiving training, students would be able to objectively assess ESG performance and enhance their knowledge. He emphasized that ESG and sustainable development concepts not only contribute to a green future but should also be integrated into the curriculum starting in primary and secondary schools. This not only satisfies students' pursuit of knowledge but also extends these concepts to the community, promoting public participation in environmental protection, public welfare, and good governance, ultimately building a sustainable world.

Mainland tourists choose Hong Kong for high-end medical check-ups

Media Interviews / /

Hong Kong's medical standards are among the best in the world. A medical examination center reported that over the past year or so, a large number of mainland patients have come to Hong Kong for high-end medical examinations such as whole-body MRIs and cardiopulmonary CT scans, resulting in a 15% increase in business. Some critically ill patients have even traveled south to seek independent third-party medical advice and chosen to come to Hong Kong for treatment. Industry insiders also pointed out that with the improvement of mainland medical standards, the large number of mainlanders who came to Hong Kong for general medical examinations and vaccinations is now a thing of the past. They believe that Hong Kong's medical examination services should develop in a high-end and specialized direction to fully leverage their strengths. A think tank member pointed out that the Hong Kong government has been actively planning to establish a third medical school in recent years, increasing the number of doctors and medical training. It is expected that once all conditions are ripe, the market will be further expanded, and even medical tourism targeting mainland and Southeast Asian tourists will be developed.

The concept of "keeping the body intact" persists, and the organ donation rate is still not ideal

Media Interviews / /

Currently, nearly 400,000 people have registered for organ donation, a record high, but Hong Kong is still one of the regions with the lowest organ donation rate in the world, falling to a new low of less than 4 people per 1 million people in the past two years. Some doctors suggested that in addition to strengthening education and breaking the traditional idea of "leaving an intact body after death", efforts should be made to find potential donors from hospitals, such as setting up a transplant team composed of doctors to assist. Another doctor reiterated the introduction of the "default consent" mechanism popular in foreign countries, allowing citizens who do not want to donate organs to register voluntarily; the think tank pointed out that Hong Kong people's concepts are still conservative, and it is appropriate to implement it when society is more accepting of organ donation. Last month, Hong Kong received cross-border organ donations from the Mainland for the second time. Some doctors hope that it will be regularized as soon as possible so that more patients can benefit.

Media Interviews / , /

Following the official liquidation and dissolution of the Civic Party last year, the Democratic Party Central Committee also decided a few days ago to set up a team to follow up on the dissolution process. In addition to political space, the survival of centrists in Hong Kong's political arena has attracted much attention, and fiscal constraints are another test. As far as I know, one of the self-proclaimed centrist organizations, Democratic Ideas, is currently conducting a research project with government resources. It is conducting in-depth interviews with stakeholders such as industry professionals, scholars and experts on the changes in press freedom in Hong Kong in recent years. These funded projects can alleviate financial pressure.

The data interconnection between Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area brings convenience to Hong Kong. Last year, the government signed the "Standard Contract on Cross-border Flow of Personal Information in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Mainland and Hong Kong)" to simplify the procedures for cross-border data flow between the nine mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area and Hong Kong. The measures have had successful cases in the financial and medical sectors, and were expanded to all industries last month. Sectors such as education, culture and arts, and new productivity are also expected to benefit. Some data experts pointed out that Hong Kong needs to pay attention to protecting "data property rights" and data classification and classification, and suggested referring to the strict laws and regulations of the Mainland, establishing a legal framework and speeding up the formulation of a data security law. The digital economy is becoming a new main body of Hong Kong's development. Some lawyers have suggested that the authorities promote mutual recognition of identities, promote high-quality cross-border development in all aspects, and help integrate it into the overall national development.
Data interconnection and interoperability with the Greater Bay Area has brought many conveniences and benefits to Hong Kong. Last year, Hong Kong and the Cyberspace Administration of China signed the "Memorandum of Cooperation on Promoting Cross-Border Data Flows in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area," and subsequently signed the "Standard Contract for Cross-Border Flows of Personal Information in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Mainland and Hong Kong)." This simplifies the compliance arrangements for cross-border flows of personal information between nine mainland cities and Hong Kong, removes quantitative restrictions on cross-border transfers of personal information, and simplifies personal information protection impact assessments. More sectors, including education, culture, and the arts, benefit.
