Mr. TSENG Hing Yip, York, the Chairman, said that the Board has already, in its Annual Plan, drawn up more comprehensive and precisely targeted initiatives for TWGHs’ services in the coming year, as it aims to addressing diverse livelihood needs. With the support of the Government and various sectors of the society, the Group has expanded its service network to 400 units, and the recurring expenses including those of medical services for the coming year will exceed $13 billion.
The Group is now planning and preparing to launch several multi-year, large-scale construction projects. These include Phase 2 of the Kwong Wah Hospital (KWH) Redevelopment Project, the establishment of the new KWH Digital Pathology Centre, school premises construction and reprovisioning projects, redevelopment of the elderly home, and the construction of a youth hostel at Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan.
In education, TWGHs will actively promote AI and STEAM learning to nurture students’ creativity and critical thinking, while also organising a wide range of exchange programmes across the Chinese Mainland and overseas to broaden student’s perspectives and global understanding. In welfare services, TWGHs will introduce sustained support programmes for caregivers of individuals recovering from mental health challenges or experiencing emotional difficulties. The recently opened “Yau Ma Tei Community Living Room” will also expand its services to better support grassroots citizens.
As always, we will maintain a prudent budgeting approach when carrying out development initiatives and monitor TWGHs’ operations through robust administrative measures. TWGHs will make every cent of public donations count, converting generosity into appropriate welfare services and striving to reach more people in need across Hong Kong.
