The Mainland Medical Team for Hong Kong has joined the medical team at the COVID-19 Treatment Center (AWE) since mid-March 2022, and has provided appropriate treatment to confirmed COVID-19 patients alongside our frontline medical staff.

After they are familiar with the environment, they immediately enter the isolation area to work in the isolation area, understand the situation of the patients on the spot, and work with our Chinese medicine team to further optimize the service.
