On this programme, we talk to a professor about the increasing impact sports is having on the city's economy. The latest figures from the Census and Statistics Department showed the sports sector is generating HK$46 billion in new economic value in 2024.
Then, we hear from a doctor from Queen Mary Hospital about their pioneering treatment for children with Vascular Malformation, a birth defect where blood or lymph vessels grow abnormally.

And to wrap up, a researcher joins the show to breakdown the latest SAR population figures.
