About the project

We will provide health assistance to 65 years old or above elders via one-to-one telephone contact,  in the hope of relieving their anxiety and unease caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. ​ Our student helpers will also clarify the health misinformation circulating among the community during the phone call.

​

The project is funded by Knowledge Transfer Project Fund (KPF) of SoCUBE from the CUHK.
