Going forward, we will continue to advocate for and spread awareness of bystander CPR, to boost survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, aiming to empower every citizen to become a potential lifesaver.
As we step into the future, HKSEMS looks ahead with optimism and resolve. We are eager to continue walking hand in hand with the community, expanding our outreach, advocacy, and educational efforts to make emergency care stronger, more accessible, and more impactful for all in Hong Kong.

OUR DEVELOPMENT
Closely linked to the development of emergency medicine in Hong Kong
The development of HKSEMS was closely linked to the development of emergency medicine in Hong Kong. After the first A&E consultant was appointed in 1981, a group of dedicated A&E doctors formed the Society in 1985.
Thereafter, we organized various training activities, published series of A&E reference manuals and the Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine. With these the specialty status of emergency medicine is established in Hong Kong after 13 years of hard work.
