Backchat
On Friday's Backchat, we talked to a representative from Our Hong Kong Foundation to learn more about their proposal to reform the way the city handles end of life care.
The foundation says current services are fragmented and predominantly focused on medical treatment, and patients' psychological and spiritual needs are often overlooked.
After that, we found out from a doctor on the Hong Kong Medical Association's latest guidelines on seven types of vaccinations.
After the news, we learned more about Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis -- the most common form of paediatric scoliosis occurring in youngsters between the ages of 10 and 18.
And finally to end the show, we immersed ourvelves into the city's arts scene and learned more about the Canton Modern exhibition at the M+ museum, which showcases 20th century Cantonese art and visual culture.
