World Hypertension Day / Halal certification
According to the previous Population Health Survey conducted between 2020 and 2022, the total prevalence of hypertension was 29.5 percent among Hong Kong people aged between 15 and 84.
Hypertension may cause serious health problems like stroke, coronary heart disease and heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and even early death, but it is considered a “silent killer” as it seldom shows symptoms until complications arise. We talked to doctors about how prevalent the problem is right now, and what the different treatment options are.
We also heared about a new clinical tool developed by the University of Hong Kong that can help stroke patients combat hypertension.
After the news, we talked about a recent Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Federation of Hong Kong Industries and the Islamic Community Fund of Hong Kong. Both parties agreed to establish a Halal related Q-mark, to recognise products and services certificated by the Islamic Community Fund in achieving Halal standards.

Child abuse / Chinese medicine recommendations
主持人：Danny Gittings and Janice Wong
On Thursday's Backchat, we're talking about child abuse. Ten former care workers were this week jailed for their role in one of the city's biggest child abuse scandals in recent years. The "evil and barbaric" acts they inflicted on toddlers living in a residential home in Mongkok have re-ignited debate over the need to better supervise such care centres.
The sentencing comes as the government prepares to implement the recently-enacted Mandatory Reporting Child Abuse Ordinance, which requires many professionals to report cases of suspected child abuse. So is Hong Kong doing enough to tackle the problem? How much difference will the new law make? And how do we compare to other parts of the world?
After 9:45, we'll learn more about a think tank's proposals to give Chinese medicine a more prominent role in the city's healthcare system. Tell us what you think. If you'd like to take part in the conversation, call us on 2338 8266. WhatsApp us on 6899 8518. Comment on our Facebook page. Or email backchat@rthk.hk.
