The University recently received a generous donation of HK$1 million from the Tan Siu Lin Foundation designated for the establishment of the “Tan Siu Lin Foundation Perpetual Fund for Free Chinese Medicine Consultation Day”. The fund will support the School of Chinese Medicine in organising free Chinese medicine consultation days on a regular basis for the underprivileged members of the community by reducing their Chinese medicine expenses.

Chin, President and Vice-Chancellor, was held on 2 December 2016.
