Against the backdrop of an ageing population and the lowering age of persons suffering from chronic illnesses, the population of persons with chronic illnesses rapidly increased from 0.88 million in 2001 to 1.38 million in 2013. A growing demand for rehabilitation services in society is of great urgency. As Hong Kong’s pioneer in rehabilitation services, your generous support to HKSR will allow more persons with disabilities or chronic illnesses and the needy elderly to seize the ‘Golden Recovery Period’, unleash their rehabilitation potential, reintegrate into society and lead a fulfilling life with dignity.
