     The Auxiliary Medical Service (AMS) and Tung Wah College (TWC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) today (August 10) to officially launch a series of programmes regarding youth nurturing and development. The collaboration will allow youths to put their knowledge into practice and serve the community through education and activities such as medical and healthcare training, volunteer service, and life planning.

     Witnessed by the Under Secretary for Security, Mr Michael Cheuk, and the Chairman of the College Council of TWC, Mr York Tseng, the MOU was signed by the Chief Staff Officer of the AMS, Mr Wong Ying-keung, and the President of TWC, Professor Sally Chan.

     Addressing the ceremony, Mr Cheuk expressed his hope that the AMS will further foster collaboration with various healthcare faculties of TWC, enriching cadets' knowledge of the healthcare profession and public health, and raising their interest in joining the healthcare profession sector in the future. As such, the AMS Cadet Corps will also become a cradle to nurture more healthcare professionals, cultivate them to become professionals who can bear social responsibilities and care for the community, and take it as their own responsibility to contribute to society and serve the people.

     Mr Tseng emphasised that TWC's outstanding scholars have been earnestly engaged in research and contributions in the fields of healthcare, nursing, and mental health, raising public awareness of personal health and leading students to participate in community service and contribute to society. The AMS has extensive experience in community service, and this collaboration is expected to foster an in-depth exchange of knowledge and experience between the two parties, making a significant contribution to the development of healthcare and a better society in Hong Kong.
