SCM has received HK$4 million in funding from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to provide online health consultation service to elders aged 60 or above for free. The aim of this service is to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection for those who need to travel frequently or regularly to get to their medical appointments. Each health consultation will last 10 minutes and will be conducted over an online video conferencing platform. In addition to learning more about Chinese medicine and receiving health tips from Chinese medicine practitioners, elders using the service will each receive two complementary soup or herbal tea packs compatible with the type of their body constitution and delivered to their doorsteps. This initiative is expected to benefit over 8,000 people.
