CONCLUSION

This report highlights the safety and health promotion performed in Sham Shui Po by various stakeholders since the establishment of Sham Shui Po Healthy and Safe Community Steering Committee (the Steering Committee) in 2002. It also demonstrates the collaborated effort between Sham Shui Po District Council, government officials, community stakeholders to promote safety and health concepts to the citizens.

The injury data from government officials, local regional hospital serves as an indicator to evaluate the effectiveness of safety and health programs done in Sham Shui Po. The injury surveillance data from AEIS of Caritas Medical Centre, has shown improvement. This is encouraging but the measurement of effectiveness of performed programs cannot solely be reliant on it.

The Steering Committee will continue to monitor the injury data closely, identify the target groups, set up clear objectives, develop strategic planning, and tackle issues based on a comprehensive picture of local needs.

The Steering Committee will continue to pay effort to coordinate and promote partnership across within the community so different stakeholders such as government officials, non-government organizations, local hospitals, university, labour union, commercial sectors and individuals etc are prepared to engage constructively in a shared effort to build up Sham Shui Po as safe and healthy community.
