Benefiting humanity through technology: Hongqiao and CityUHK unite for community care with Hongqiao Cerebro-Cardiovascular (C2) Health Guardian Programme

City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has been consistently committed to interdisciplinary research, actively addressing societal needs and advancing public health. With the generous sponsorship of China Hongqiao Group Limited (Hongqiao), Honorary Patron of CityUHK Foundation, the University has partnered with three institutions to launch the Hongqiao Cerebro-Cardiovascular (C2) Health Guardian Programme, aimed at enhancing community health. The initiative brings together the strengths of government, industry, academia, District Health Centres and community networks. It will provide free, comprehensive health screenings for 5,000 residents of Light Public Housing and Transitional Housing across four districts – Kwun Tong, Sham Shui Po, Sha Tin and Tsuen Wan – enabling early detection of cardiovascular and brain health risks.
