Hong Kong Reading Week / 18-District Health Community Project / HKU robotic hip replacement study / Michael Jackson biopic

On this programme, we start with a discussion on the importance of reading.

The government has designated April 23 as the Hong Kong Reading for All Day and will hold Hong Kong Reading Week this week to encourage residents to enjoy reading through diverse activities. A recent survey by the Hong Kong Publishing Professionals Society also showed that reading has declined in SAR and the larger world.

We then talk to a professor from the University of Hong Kong about the official launch of a new city-wide healthcare programme that will strengthen primary health support at the community level, as well as enable residents to gain practical health knowledge.

After the break, we take a closer look at a new study that finds that robotic hip replacements not only lowers re-operation rates compared to conventional surgery, but enables patients to return to normal life more quickly.

And to wrap it up, we chat with a musician on how 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson single-handedly changed the music landscape, as his highly-anticipated biopic "Michael" releases in threatres today in Hong Kong.
