Medical Training and Education

The Foundation sponsors medical staff to receive further training abroad, and to attend local and overseas seminars and conferences.

The Foundation also bears the cost of replacement nurses when specialist nurses take leave to attend overseas training courses.

Overseas medical scholars are invited by the Foundation to present lectures to members of the medical profession specializing in childhood cancer. This area of work is of vital importance as it provides a means for local medical staff to keep abreast of all advances in treatment and medical technology.

Through the two teaching hospitals of Prince of Wales and Queen Mary, CCF now provides funding for medical personel from mainland China to receive training in Hong Kong.

The Foundation also funds subscriptions to journals and purchases books as needed by doctors and nurses.
