The event was officiated by Dr Theresa Li Tak-lai, Cluster Chief Executive of Hong Kong West Cluster, HA, Dr Danny Tong Wah-kun, Chief Manager (Nursing) / Chief Nurse Executive of HA, Professor Sylvia Fung Yuk-kuen, President of The Hong Kong Academy of Nursing & Midwifery, Professor Sophia Chan Siu-chee, Director of the HKU Primary Health Care Academy, Ms Jane Chan Lai-hung, Cluster General Manager (Nursing), Hong Kong West Cluster, HA and Professor Chia-Chin Lin, Director of HKU School of Nursing, who led the Light-up Ceremony to celebrate this meaningful day.
Dr Tong and Professor Fung also gave lectures on this year’s theme “Our Nurses. Our Future. Caring for nurses strengthens economies” that provided valuable guidance and inspiration for the nursing community.
