Health education--Hong Kong's experience.
The HKSAR Department of Health is the Government's health adviser and agency to execute health care policies and statutory functions. It safeguards the health of the community through promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative services. The Department invests in health promotion activities and discharges its functions through three designated units, namely the Central Health Education Unit, Oral Health Education Unit and the Red Ribbon Centre for AIDS education, as well as through client contacts at primary and specialised health care centres. The Department is set to enhance its health information base, advocate for intersectoral collaboration and community participation in health, and engage in wider research and evaluation of health promotion interventions.
