Hong Kong’s rapidly ageing population risks becoming an unsustainable burden for the healthcare system and the city as a whole if residents do not take proactive steps to stay healthy,” a recent health summit has warned. https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1850299-20260408.htm

Today, Rinzin delivered a talk on Prevention of Osteoporosis to ethnic minority ladies at the Methodist Epworth Village Community Centre, emphasising the importance of adopting healthier lifestyles, engaging in regular exercise (including weight‑bearing activities), maintaining good nutrition, and ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D intake — including getting some sunshine. These are essential pillars for preserving bone health and preventing fractures as people age.

UCN Health Outreach at World Health Day – Kowloon Mosque

At the World Health Day celebration held today at Kowloon Mosque, UCN set up an engaging health‑education booth to provide the public with essential information on Colorectal Cancer Screening and the Phase 3 HPV Vaccination Catch‑Up Programme. To ensure inclusivity, all materials were offered in multiple ethnic and culturally diverse languages, enabling community members from different backgrounds to access life‑saving information with comfort and confidence.

Rinzin Chodor delivered an enlightening and motivational talk, emphasizing the importance of early colorectal cancer screening and highlighting the benefits of the government‑subsidised Phase 3 HPV Vaccination Catch‑Up Programme, which runs until the end of 2026. His message encouraged greater community participation in these two critical cancer‑prevention initiatives, empowering individuals and families to take proactive steps toward safeguarding their health.

Launch of the Diabetes Prevention Program at Khalsa Diwan Sikh Temple

On 22 March, the Diabetes Prevention Program for Indian residents was officially launched at Khalsa Diwan Sikh Temple. The program began on a strong and inspiring note with the presence of Mr. Baljinder Singh and Dr. Jaswinder Singh from the temple management, alongside a warm welcome and introductory remarks from Professor Mandy Ho of the Hong Kong University School of Nursing.

Rinzin Chodor, Project Coordinator from United Christian Nethersole Community Health Service (UCN), delivered an engaging presentation outlining the one‑year program’s orientation and schedule. He also provided an encouraging and enlightening talk on diabetes, its complications, practical prevention strategies, weight management, and the importance of monitoring blood cholesterol levels.

Participants shared that they felt highly motivated to commit to the full one‑year journey, expressing eagerness to learn, improve their health, and achieve their target blood sugar and weight levels.

Both Professor Mandy Ho and Rinzin expressed heartfelt gratitude to the management of Khalsa Diwan Sikh Temple for their generous support and for kindly providing the venue, which made this meaningful initiative possible.

Rinzin from UCN attended talk hosted by Dr. Nicolette Ray, featuring Shalini Mahtani (CEO of The Zubin Foundation), Priya Aggarwal (Lead Counsellor), and Sala Sihombing (Chair of the Forced Marriage Committee) on 19March,2026. Their insights on mental health, wellbeing, and forced marriage within the South Asian community in Hong Kong were deeply moving and thought‑provoking.

The Zubin Foundation continues to do remarkable work supporting the mental health and wellbeing of ethnically diverse communities in Hong Kong. The seminar was not only well attended but also profoundly appreciated — a clear reflection of the trust and hope this organisation brings to so many.
