There is a shortage of healthcare manpower in Hong Kong, and it is a well-known fact that the doctors of the public hospitals are facing long working hours and tremendous pressure, hence, not an easy career path. There is, however, a group of future doctors who are determined to walk into community to provide medical services, before the start of their heavy work life. They are committed to return the favour to the general public, with a view to promoting good health to all people.
LEE Kong-ngai, Paul, is a year-5 student of the School of Medicine, the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He founded “the Association of Doctors for Social Responsibility” in 2016. Paul hopes that being the convenor, he can bring together a group of doctors, medical students and even aspiring secondary school students, to enter the community to provide medical services. After a year of preparation, he and several fellow medical students ran a campaign called “Hong Kong Health Exhibition” in September 2017. They try to work with different district groups, with the local organisations providing venues and supplies, and inviting neighbours to participate. The medical students will make use of their medical knowledge to do health checks such as measuring blood pressure, blood glucose, etc., and provide related medical services for the people in need.
Paul and his working partners hope to promote the concept of “doctors in the community”, so that people can understand their health condition through the free medical services. If there are problems, they can seek medical treatment as early as possible.
香港醫護人手不足，公立醫院的醫生出名工時長，壓力大，行醫不容易，偏偏有班未來醫生，決意在展開繁重工作生涯之前，走進社區，展開義診，矢志以學識回饋大眾，促進全民健康。
李罡毅(Paul)是香港中文大學醫學院五年級生，2016年成立「關愛社會醫生聯會」，期望以召集人身分，集合一眾醫生、醫科生，甚至是有心的中學生，合力進入社區，提供醫療服務。經過一年籌備，他與幾個醫科同學於2017年9月展開名為「全港大義診」的活動，嘗試與不同地區團體合作，由當區組織提供場地、物資，及動員街坊參與；醫科生們則貢獻知識，為有需要的平民百姓進行量血壓、度血糖等健康檢查，提供相關醫學意見。
Paul和他的戰友希望推廣「醫生在社區」的概念，市民透過參加義診了解自身健康狀況，如有毛病，就可盡早求醫。
