基層醫療抗疫行動—KF94/ N95口罩捐贈計劃

為私家醫生派發二萬五千個口罩

 

[香港,2020年2月11日]近日新型冠狀病毒在本地爆發,全城出現口罩短缺的情況,部分私家診所更因缺乏口罩而暫停營業。香港創新醫療學會與香港醫學會及香港西醫工會合作,向合資格的醫生派發二萬五千個口罩,此舉盼能改善口罩短缺的情況。

 

每個合資格醫生可透過香港醫學會或香港西醫工會於網上登記,即日起免費到分別位於灣仔和油麻地的會址索取十個KF94口罩(相等於N95級數)。個人經營的私家醫生診所可獲優先處理,希望藉此計劃幫助私家診所照常運作。

 

香港創新醫療學會會長劉少懷醫生表示:「知悉私家醫生口罩短缺的情況,政府的壓力非常之大,希望今次的計劃能紓減這些情況,亦感謝香港醫學會及香港西醫工會的積極配合,能迅速落實有關安排。」

 

香港醫學會會長何仲平醫生指出:「感謝這個計劃的安排,理解私家醫生對口罩的需求,今次的計劃能減輕私家醫生的短期壓力。」香港西醫工會會長楊超發醫生亦指:「保護物資對私家醫生非常重要,希望今次的計劃能解決燃眉之急。」

 

今次的計劃喜獲英國阿斯利康藥廠贊助,阿斯利康(香港及澳門)總經理Gwenael Meneux感謝有關的安排,他表示:「我們盼藉著今次的活動善盡企業社會責任,能幫助社區的情況,了解醫學及病人團體的需要,希望疫情能盡快得以改善。」

PRESS RELEASE

 

Primary Care Support Initiative - KF94/N95 Mask Donation Program

25,000 Protective Masks Donated to Private Doctors

 

[Hong Kong, 11 Feb 2020] Due to the outbreak of Novel Coronavirus, the local communities in Hong Kong are now experiencing a shortage of protective masks. It is reported that several private clinics are closed due to the lack of protective masks for medical professionals to conduct clinical consultations.

 

In light of the current climate, the Society for Innovative Healthcare Hong Kong (SIHHK) announces the launch of the program: ‘Primary Care Support Initiative - KF94/N95 Mask Donation Program’, in collaboration with The Hong Kong Medical Association (HKMA) and Hong Kong Doctors Union (HKDU). A total of 25,000 protective masks have been donated to private clinic doctors in order to mitigate the shortage of protective masks.

 

Eligible private clinic doctors can now obtain up to 10 pieces of KF94 masks (equivalent to N95 masks) for free by enrolling into the program online through the HKMA and HKDU. These masks are distributed at both HKMA's Wanchai and HKDU's Yaumatei locations. Solo practice doctors are given priority. SIHHK hopes to sustain the services of private clinics through this program.

 

‘With the shortage of masks and the incredible stress placed on the government in regard to the Novel Coronavirus at the moment, this program aims to sooth the   critical situation that Hong Kong is currently facing. We would like to thank HKMA and HKDU for their proactive support which has enabled the speedy execution of this program.’ said Dr Liu Shao-haei, President of SIHHK.

 

‘We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the launch of this program. We understand private doctors’ need for masks. This program is instrumental in alleviating the immediate stress placed on the doctors.’ said Dr Ho Chung-ping, President of HKMA. ‘Private clinic doctors need to treat patients with protective gear. We hope the program can help.’ HKDU President Dr Yeung Chiu-fat Henry added.

 

This program is supported by AstraZeneca. Mr Gwenael Meneux, General Manager of AstraZeneca HK and Macau, said, ‘We are constantly learning the needs of the medical professionals as well as the patients to better serve our local community. Through this corporate social responsibility program to sustain the operations of private clinics, we do hope to support the HCPs in this critical situation of coronavirus outbreak.’
