From the coming Sunday (12 August) on, a 10-episode health promotion programme series titled "Health InfoWorld" will be broadcast for the first time on all the 2,100 transit vehicles equipped with the RoadShow system.

Each episode of the series, featuring such hosts as Jacky Cheung, Nat Chan and Do Do Cheng, focuses on the causes, prevention and treatment of a disease commonly known in Hong Kong. Health care professionals of the Hospital Authority also appear in the series to offer expert health advice. Each episode will be run every Sunday and Tuesday on RoadShow.

Speaking at a press conference today (Tuesday, 7August) announcing the new programme series on RoadShow, Steering Committee Member of Health InfoWorld Mrs Alice Chiu said she was glad to see the programme reaching out to more people in need of health knowledge.

Mrs Chiu said, "Hong Kong people are always working very hard. Sometimes they work too hard to look after their own health. As we always emphasis community partnership in health promotion, we hope that the showing of this programmes series will help the general public gain more health knowledge to take responsibility of their own health.

"We are very happy to see that RoadShow is joining other civic minded organisations in Hong Kong to partner with the Health InfoWorld in contributing to the betterment of the community."

RoadShow's Chief Programme Officer Mr Eric Yeung said the broadcasting of Health InfoWorld was in line with RoadShow's commitment of bringing entertaining programmes and information to passengers while serving the community.

Mr Yeung said, "We believe that this quality programme series from the Health InfoWorld of the Hospital Authority will make passengers' vehicle journeys more informative and enjoyable."
