“Accessible Rides” – Medical Transport Support to Wang Fuk Court Residents (Donated by Li Ka Shing Foundation)

A serious fire recently broke out at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, affecting seven residential blocks. The Government has stated it will initially provide close to 1,800 units to meet affected residents’ temporary accommodation needs. Given that temporary housing is dispersed across different districts, and many affected households include the elderly and individuals with medical needs, the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation (HKSR) announced the launch of free “Accessible Rides” medical transport to assist affected residents travelling to and from hospitals and clinics.

《Target Beneficiaries》

The elderly, people with mobility limitations, persons with disabilities, and those requiring medical follow-up/medication collection among residents affected by the Wang Fuk Court fire.

《Scope》

Journeys to and from public and private hospitals, specialist outpatient clinics, general outpatient clinics, listed Chinese medicine clinics, and related healthcare facilities (follow-up consultations, appointments, treatments, medication collection).

《Fees》

Free of charge (funded by public donations and HKSR resources).

《Coverage》

Routes across multiple districts territory-wide (aligned with the distribution of government-arranged temporary accommodation).
