     The Hospital Authority (HA) held a flag-raising ceremony in celebration of the 77th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China today (October 1).
      
     The ceremony was held in the HA Building. The national flag was hoisted alongside the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) flag to a rendition of the national anthem, symbolising wishes for the enduring prosperity, peace and stability of the motherland.
      
     About 200 guests attended the ceremony, including the Deputy Director-General of the Social Development Department of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR, Mr Ye Shuiqiu; the Chairman of the HA, Mr Henry Fan; the Chief Executive of the HA, Dr Libby Lee; members of the HA Board and Hospital Governing Committees, as well as senior executives of HA Head Office, clusters and hospitals. 
      
     Mr Fan said, "This year holds exceptional significance for our country's development. It marks not only the 77th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but also the commencement of the National 15th Five-Year Plan period. All staffs of the HA are profoundly proud of our country's robust strength and world-renowned development achievements. With the unique strengths under 'one country, two systems' and Hong Kong's role as a bridge linking the country and the world, Hong Kong has maintained its prosperity, stability and development. Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan proactively aligns with national development strategies, so as to better integrate into and serve the national development. As the major provider of public healthcare services in Hong Kong, the HA will continue to fully support the HKSAR Government's administration to safeguard the health of the community, deepen cross-boundary medical collaboration in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and accelerate the development of Hong Kong into an international health and medical innovation hub, thereby contributing to the key national strategy of 'Healthy China'."
