Programme 3: Short video on "Bringing Health Equity to Rare Diseases"

Through the sharing of patients and caregivers, it is reflected that if "health equity" can be practised so that patients can receive timely and appropriate treatment, it can not only rewrite a life and save a family's destiny, but also reduce the burden of medical and social wealfare.  The short video was released on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and RDHK's website on 18 Dec 2023, and has reached more than 42,000 people in just half a month.
