Elderly Health Service continued to develop health education resources, such as DVD, VCD, publication, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) health educational kit and resources for the provider of the elderly services. The objective is mainly to disseminate health information to the public through various channels to empower elders and their carers to better control and improve their health. Apart from distribution to elderly service providers as part of the train-the-trainer programmes, they are also made available for sale to the public. In addition, some resources are uploaded to the website and YouTube for free download. Besides, health messages are delivered through mass media, aiming at further promote elderly health in the community.
