Setting up of Sham Shui Po Healthy and Safe Community Steering Committee

Background and Mission
While World Health Organization (WHO) has advocated “Healthy City and Safe Community” as the primary health strategy, Sham Shui Po District Council (SSPDC) has also been concerned with the health and occupational safety of local residents. In this connection, SSPDC has set up the Healthy and Safe Steering Committee since 2002 to launch the Healthy and Safe Community program in the District by facilitating the concerted efforts of government departments, industrial and commercial corporations, local organizations, voluntary agencies and health care providers, with a view to creating a healthy and safe working and living environment for the people within the community.
