Dear fellows, members and associate members: I

t is of deepest pride and greatest pleasure that I write for the new council. I would first like to thank Dr KM Siu for inviting me to serve at the HKOA as an honorary treasurer.

Taking up this post as the treasurer is a challenging job. There are lots of scholarships, sponsorships and HKOA activities including our annual congress to deal with. Albeit the fact that most of the doctors are too busy to deal with money matters, I am sure that with the help of our honorary auditor, I would be able to report our accounts to you in the coming HKOA congress.

I would not consider myself as one from the younger generation, but in the coming two years I wish to infuse the thoughts of budding surgeons into this association. I have been brainstorming on this for long so I wish someone would read this message eventually: since I think most of the seniors are too busy to browse the HKOA website or to click into this newsletter; on the other hand, the young surgeons are too indifferent to this obsolete medium of communication.

I hope the new generation would not see HKOA as merely a 2-days-long congress. It’s a fraternity of all the orthopaedic surgeons in Hong Kong.

Dr Sally Hi Shan Cheng
Treasurer
The Hong Kong Orthopaedic Association
