Background

The Hong Kong Asthma Society (HKAS) is a non-profit patients’ organisation aims to help asthma and allergy patients lead a normal life. Our different support services enable patients to improve their quality of life and educate their families and the public about the causes of the diseases and the ways to cope with them. We also build a support network so that members can help one another.

What we have

We will provide training for volunteer to enhance the knowledge of asthma.

Why this is important

Low-intensity physical activity is good for asthma patients. Hiking is a great choice for them. With regular exercise, asthma patients can improve their fitness, asthma control and lung function.
