SADS HK Study Media Conference cum Donors Reception

(24 Oct 2017)

The SADS HK Study Media Conference cum Donors Reception was held on 24 October 2017 successfully. We are honour to announce the result of the 1st SADS HK Study. SADS HK Foundation has collaborated with Princess Margaret Hospital, the Hospital Authority and Forensic Pathology Service, the Department of Health to launch a research project since 2014, the first of its kind in Hong Kong focused on young sudden cardiac death victims, with a view of uncovering the real causes of their deaths and help surviving family members.

Meanwhile, SADS HK Foundation is committed to facilitating early medical examination for patients with the dormant disease to reduce their risk exposure to sudden death. This is why the foundation is presently launching a “SADS Pilot Scheme Subsidizing Relatives for Clinical Consultation” starting from today to December 31, 2018, to subsidize the first-degree relatives of sudden cardiac death victims (age 5 to age below or equal to 40), for first-time cardiac clinical evaluations, with the aim of encouraging them to undergo early medical check-up and curtailing the incidence of SADS-related mortality. For eligibility criteria and other details, please refer to SADS HK Foundation website.
