On 2nd March, 2018, Sau Po Centre on Ageing, HKU, trained around 50 volunteers as part of the ‘WeRISE’ programme. Attendants were given basic information about stroke including the causes, treatment and complications and how it could be prevented. Volunteers were also taught how to perform home blood pressure monitoring.
These volunteers will reach out to the community via a number of non-government organisations to support stroke patients and their caregivers.
