Hong Kong Jockey Club chairman Ronald Arculli announced it has approved a donation of HK$500 million (A$102 million) to set up a Centre for the Prevention & Control Of Infectious Diseases & “will work with the Government to agree on the scope & parameters of the Club's donation.”
While the initial focus of the Centre will be to address SARS, the HKJC Charities Trust's grant will also address other infectious diseases should the needs arise.
The Club has stipulated the funds will not be for research only, but for training & public education programs, for planning & good communication systems to sound timely warnings of new viruses, & for an efficient & up-dated information system. |
