Hong Kong's health minister Lo Chung-mau announced a greater than 40 per cent reduction in age-standardised cancer mortality rates over the past thirty years at the World Cancer Congress.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare launched the "Census of Elderly Elders Living Alone" in 2026. From July to August, 80,000 elderly people living alone have actually been interviewed, and it is expected to complete interviews with about 700,000 elderly people by the end of 2027. Visitors will wear identification cards, produce official documents, and be accompanied by grassroots personnel such as the district director. They will not ask for personal information such as bankbooks or account numbers. Minister Shi Chongliang emphasized that the purpose of the census is to understand the needs of the elderly and provide precise services, such as meal delivery, emergency rescue equipment and daily care, and to remind the elderly to guard against fraud. Director of Social Welfare Zhou Daojun pointed out that the census also relies on the assistance of grassroots community partners to understand the actual living conditions and incorporate them into future service evaluations. Grandma Lin, who is over 90 years old and was interviewed, said she felt warmed by the sincerity of the visiting staff. Now she is used to participating in community activities and feels the care of "unrelated relatives".

The latest research shows that 72.1% of Americans over the age of 50 are willing to receive a hypothetical vaccine to prevent dementia, while only 7.2% are clearly opposed and 20.8% are uncertain.

Negotiations on the total amount of health insurance ended yesterday. The medical community and consumer representatives reached a consensus. The total growth rate has reached 5.5% for three consecutive years.

Consumer representatives are worried that the negotiations will become a formality and are unable to compete with the medical community. They call for the Legislative Yuan to live broadcast the entire process to accept external supervision.
