On 7 May 2020, the Hospital Authority presented a certificate of appreciation to NTFCF at a ceremony recognising the Foundation’s steadfast support for public hospital healthcare staff.
‘We are humbled by the recognition by the Hospital Authority and their wonderful healthcare staff members. We would like to say a heartfelt thank-you to them for their tireless and professional work amid one of the greatest challenges in history. Thank you all for fighting COVID-19 at the front lines. By supporting and caring for each other, we shall be able to weather this challenge together in the Lion Rock Spirit. Bless Hong Kong,’ remarks Mr Daryl Ng, Director of the NTFCF.
