To celebrate the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the School of Chinese Medicine (SCM) at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), with the generous support from the Wofoo Foundation (the Foundation), held its inaugural “Celebrating the National Day - Wofoo and HKBUCM Free Consultation Day” on 1 October 2025.

Six HKBU Chinese medicine clinics provided free Chinese medicine consultations and treatments on that day, and each participant received two dosages of elementary Chinese medicine prescriptions, with nearly 1,000 beneficiaries. On the event day, HKBU School of Chinese Medicine – Lui Seng Chun also offered free Chinese herbal tea and guided tours to help the public learn more about the culture and history of Chinese medicine.

Professor Sun Feng, Director and Professor of Practice of the Clinical Division of SCM at HKBU, stated, “It is especially meaningful for SCM to hold its first Free Consultation Day on the National Day. Thanks to the generous donation from the Wofoo Foundation, we can benefit more members of the public. We hope this free consultation activity can deepen their understanding of the features of Chinese medicine, allow them to experience the culture of Chinese medicine, and enhance their awareness and knowledge of health management.”

Established in 1997 by Dr. Joseph Lee, GBS, JP, the Wofoo Foundation is dedicated to serving society under the belief that “Harmony brings a family prosperity, cohesion makes a nation wealthy”. Over the years, the Foundation has made generous donations in support of a variety of the University’s endeavours, particularly in youth development. Key initiatives include the establishment of the “Wofoo Foundation Outstanding Leadership Awards” and the implementation of the “Wofoo Leaders’ Network” at HKBU, both aimed at nurturing future leaders. The Foundation is recognised as Honorary Permanent President of the HKBU Foundation.
