Medical Professionals from Jiangsu Province visited JOCOC

It was our pleasure to have six delegates from the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University and a representative from the Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission visit our Centre on 27 May 2025. Our Centre Director, Prof. Kwok Chi Yiu Timothy, hosted an exchange discussion session with them after the group paid a visit to the Centre's operation and facilities. We all believed that bone and muscle health are essential topics in managing elder frailty effectively.

Our visitors attended the Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair held in HKCEC, 26-28 May 2025. We greatly appreciated their visit and the valuable discussion we had with them.
