Rinzin from UCN attended talk hosted by Dr. Nicolette Ray, featuring Shalini Mahtani (CEO of The Zubin Foundation), Priya Aggarwal (Lead Counsellor), and Sala Sihombing (Chair of the Forced Marriage Committee) on 19March,2026. Their insights on mental health, wellbeing, and forced marriage within the South Asian community in Hong Kong were deeply moving and thought‑provoking.

The Zubin Foundation continues to do remarkable work supporting the mental health and wellbeing of ethnically diverse communities in Hong Kong. The seminar was not only well attended but also profoundly appreciated — a clear reflection of the trust and hope this organisation brings to so many.

Professor Mandy Ho from the School of Nursing, LKS Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong is deeply committed to improving the health and wellbeing of ethnic minority communities in Hong Kong. Her current research focuses on supporting South Asian communities, who often face unique challenges in accessing primary healthcare and are at higher risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes.

Her team is now leading two important initiatives:

1. Understanding the health needs of Indian, Pakistani, and Nepalese communities through a detailed questionnaire survey on primary healthcare experiences in Hong Kong.

2. Launching a 1‑year diabetes prevention and health‑monitoring program designed specifically for South Asians, offering structured lifestyle support, nutrition guidance, and regular health checks.

To ensure these programs are culturally meaningful and community‑driven, Professor Mandy Ho and UCN’s Project Coordinator Rinzin Chodor recently met with leaders from Khalsa Diwan Sikh Temple and the Hindu Temple in Happy Valley.

The meetings were very fruitful, with both temples expressing strong interest in supporting health initiatives that benefit the Indian community. There was a shared commitment to work together on health education, screening activities, and culturally tailored programs that can make a real difference in people’s lives.

Both sides are now looking forward to building a successful and long‑term collaboration to promote better health and wellbeing for the Indian community in Hong Kong.

Today, UCN staff Rinzin and Sarina delivered a health talk on Nipah virus infection for Nepalese residents, in collaboration with the Hong Kong Nepalese Federation (HKNF).

We are deeply thankful to Rita Gurung ji for arranging this important and timely session. With recent Nipah virus cases reported in India and Bangladesh, it is essential for our community to stay informed about the virus — and even more importantly, about how to prevent infection.

Thank you to everyone who joined and helped make this awareness programme meaningful and impactful.

According to the latest Population Health Survey (2020–22) by the Department of Health, 51.3% of Hong Kong residents aged 18–84 were overweight or obese. With such a high proportion of the population facing weight‑related health risks, early prevention and health education are more important than ever.

To support healthier lifestyles among young people, UCN has been delivering obesity‑prevention health talks in primary and secondary schools, promoting balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and good sleep habits.

On 6 February, Rinzin delivered a health talk on obesity prevention to more than 400 students from Primary 4 to Primary 6 at Li Cheng Uk Government Primary School. We are sincerely thankful to the school for inviting us and for their commitment to building health awareness from an early age.

🩷 We look forward to continued collaboration in nurturing a healthier next generation.
