HKSH Village Volunteers Raised HK$500,000 for Charles K. Kao Foundation To Support Free Community Screening for Dementia Enabling Early Detection to Alleviate Burden for Patients and Caregivers

(1 April 2026, Hong Kong) Over 300 staff members and friends of HKSH Medical Group (HKSH) joined forces to participate in the 18th “Walk for a Vision” charity walk organised by HKSH Village Volunteers on 29 March and successfully raised HK$500,000 for the Charles K. Kao Foundation for Alzheimer’s Disease (CKKF). CKKF's services have benefited over 350,000 people since its launch. The funds raised will help CKKF establish a sustainable and community-based service model, with the aim of making the current free dementia pilot screening programme a regular service and expanding it to all 18 districts in Hong Kong. This will enable timely diagnosis and treatment for invisible patients in the community at an earlier stage.
